"Mr President, Parliament is right to insist (see recommendation (u) in the Jaakonsaari report) that Kazakhstan must review its recent religion law and put an end to indiscriminate attacks, hearings, threats and penalties for religious minorities. This government intervention is completely incompatible with the international obligations that Kazakhstan has entered into, and with its own Constitution.
New reports about continuing attacks on churches in Kazakhstan, both registered and unregistered churches, underline the concerns of this House on this matter. Meanwhile the Council of Baptist Churches has reported that this summer some government officials, would you believe, threatened to confiscate homes where unregistered Baptist services were being held.
I have just heard from the Council that the High Representative will hold talks in Astana next week. I would therefore ask the representative of the Council to pass a message to Baroness Ashton that I would very much like to see these serious cases that I mentioned discussed in Astana. That is necessary, if we really want to say something about human rights."@en1
