"Mr President, last year in Kazakhstan, I met and publicised the case of Evgeniy Zhovtis, a human rights defender, who was imprisoned on allegedly false charges and released only last month. On 18 January 2012, I met opposition leader Vladimir Kozlov, who was arrested on his return to the country. This week, I met the wife of Kazakh journalist Igor Vinyavski, who is charged with seeking to overturn the constitution for simply organising a press conference.
Civil society representatives at the same meetings tell me that police claim they opened fire in self defence at Zhanaozen, yet the videos show that the protestors were running away. These meetings should end because the abuses must end. The release of Evgeniy and of Natalya Sokolova show that pressure does have some effect.
We restate that pressure today, and I call on the EU’s delegation to attend and observe all the related cases in the court. We are watching and, if those who speak to us are targeted, we will speak out."@en1
