lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the government of Kazakhstan would like to deepen its relations with the European Union. The letter from the Kazakh Minister for Foreign Affairs to the High Representative early this week is proof of this. the Kazakh authorities are flagrantly violating the fundamental right of religious freedom. Under the guise of a new, forcibly introduced act on religion, they have, since the autumn of 2011, been taking pride in forcibly dissolving as many as 570 of what they term religious organisations. That is hardly something to boast about. Christian communities are under surveillance by the police and secret services and are also having to contend with anti-cult centres, set up by the government, whose job it is to mobilise public opinion against religion. Searches of the houses of defenceless Christian citizens, confiscation of their property, all without any legal grounds. This is the murky backdrop to the compulsory re-registration of religious groups. Harassment of house churches, including huge fines for their leaders, completes the factors raising the spectre of religious persecution in Kazakhstan. That is the reality, Council and Commission. This clearly tells you that this is definitely not the right moment to strengthen our ties with Kazakhstan."@en1
