"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, I would like to raise the situation in Kazakhstan. I have had the opportunity, together with Ms Kiil-Nielsen, to hold a hearing with the Kazakh opposition. One of the opposition’s leaders, Vladimir Kozlov, has been arrested. There is no chance of his being given a fair trial, and he does not have a lawyer.
On top of this there is the tragedy of those who have been murdered. I spoke yesterday with the Ambassador of Kazakhstan and the Prosecutor General, and also with witnesses of this tragedy, and I would like to call for three things. Firstly, for support for the possibility of an international inquiry into the tragedy in Zhanaozen in which the people were killed. I know the Prosecutor General of Kazakhstan is also going to ask for this. Secondly, I would like diplomatic action to be taken to provide the opportunity to help the victims’ families. There are many people who are in need of support. Thirdly, I would like diplomatic efforts to be made to ensure that if members of the opposition are arrested they will have the right to have defence lawyers, so that fundamental rights are upheld. Thank you."@en1
