lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the tragedy in Zhanaozen last 16 December raises concerns not only because of the number killed and injured by the violent repression, but also because of the difficulty in obtaining clear information about what really happened. The investigation initiated by President Nazarbayev will only be credible if it includes an international component to evaluate the facts independently and impartially, taking statements from all those involved, including demonstrators, relatives of the victims, reporters, police and civil society. The investigation must examine the responsibilities of the authorities, including the alleged torture of arrested demonstrators. The confrontations in Zhanaozen arose from the growing wave of government oppression of the independent press, opposition political parties and civil society. The European Union has to remind the Kazakhstan authorities that the new cooperation agreement cannot progress without credible political reforms that make the democratic rule of law a reality in that country, regardless of the strategic importance of the economic and military interests at stake. The reforms must include the freeing of human rights campaigners and political prisoners, such as Vladimir Kozlov, who was detained after a visit to the European Parliament and whose wife is, at this moment, the target of threats and intimidation for attempting to defend the rights of her husband. He has to be freed as soon as possible and, at the very least, has to be allowed visits by his wife and the lawyers he has selected. The state of his health is a concern. The European External Action Service must continue to monitor this and other cases, linking the negotiations on the future cooperation agreement to the freeing of political prisoners and effective progress with regard to press freedom, employment rights and other basic human rights such as the right to an independent judiciary."@en1
