"Mr President, as the standing rapporteur for (
), I am particularly concerned by the situation in Kazakhstan where, as we are hearing from many other speakers, fundamental rights continue to be violated.
I find it completely unacceptable that, following his recent meeting here in Strasbourg with MEPs to discuss the tragedy in Zhanaozen, Vladimir Kozlov, the leader of the opposition political party, Alga, was arrested by the Kazakh Committee of National Security on his return to the country. Mr Kozlov, as well as other political opponents of the government, was sentenced and put in prison.
More recently, I have also met with some Kazakh civil society activists, including Mrs Kozlov, and I was extremely concerned to hear that Mr Kozlov has recently undergone surgery while in prison but that his current state of health is not known. Nobody, including his wife, is allowed any contact with him. Journalists I have also met have been intimidated and threatened with arrest if they write anything against the regime in Kazakhstan.
So I think we should call on the Kazakh authorities to end the clampdown on the political opposition and independent media in the country and to immediately release all people incarcerated on politically motivated grounds."@en1
