Kiwi tourist claims she was detained in Kazakhstan because 'officials refused to believe New Zealand was a country'
Chloe Phillips-Harris, who holds a New Zealand passport, said she was interrogated for hours and held in a guard room at Almaty Airport for a day and a half.
She said that a map in the interrogation room did not show New Zealand, which made it impossible for her to persuade the guards that her country existed.
