"Mr President, I would like to call the attention of the House to a matter which is somewhat similar to the one Mr Tavares has mentioned. Oil and gas workers in Kazakhstan have been on strike for many months. Some are on hunger strike, their demonstrations are broken up, strikers are arrested and pressure is being put on their families. Natalia Sokolova, a lawyer acting for the strikers’ trade union, has been arrested and sentenced to six years’ imprisonment. Trade union activist Akzhanat Aminov has also been sentenced. However, yet worse things are going on there: people associated with the trade union movement have been murdered. Trade union activist Zhaksylyk Turbaev has been killed. Also murdered was 18-year-old Zhansaule Karabalaeva, the daughter of a well-known trade union activist. While not interfering in economic affairs, I think that in affairs or in contacts with the state of Kazakhstan all European Union institutions should be guided by considerations of human rights. It is these considerations which should determine our decisions as well as what support we give to the country."@en1
