"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, I should like to talk to you about Kazakhstan. Did you know that the massive oil workers’ strike which began last May in the province of Mangistau has resulted in brutal repression and the arrest of trade unionists and their lawyer? On 16 December, a peaceful protest at Zhanaozen ended in bloodshed. There were many injuries, at least 15 deaths, as well as arrests and incidents of mistreatment, torture and rape.
The legislative elections of 15 January were deemed neither free nor democratic by observers. Finally, human rights defenders and militants from opposition parties recently invited to give their views before the Members of our Parliament were arrested upon their return and are facing long prison sentences.
Faced with this authoritarian and repressive abuse, the European Union’s silence is unacceptable. How do you intend to react, Baroness Ashton, to what I have just told you?"@en1
