We are appealing to you to intervene in the case of the

ISKCON-International Society for Krishna Consciousness in the Republic of

Kazakhstan. Please stop the abuse and destruction of the one element of

Indian religion which is active in your nation.

 

 

Dear President Nazarbayev,

 

It is with deep regret that we have been informed of the legal situation

regarding the attempted confiscation of the land possessed by the

International Society for Krishna Consciousness in the Republic of

Kazakhstan.

 

The properties of the society have been legally purchased and privatised

according to the land codes of Kazakhstan. Yet, since 2004 there has been

ongoing litigation in an attempt by government officials to steal the land

legally owned by the society.

 

On March 29, 2006 a hearing was conducted in the Almaty Oblast Court. The

judge in charge of the case explained that he had carefully studied the case

and that there was no substance in the arguments of the Government Land

Committee. Yet, when the decision was read it was ruled that the land of the

Krishna Society be returned to the land reserve of Kazakhstan. The

decision was illegal, not based upon the legislation of your nation, but

enacted due to pressure from some powerful individual. Mr. President,

you

want that your fine country come into the rank of the leading nations of the

world. You have shown your open mindedness by conducting your International

Religious Forum in 2003. Yet in this case we have a glaring example of a

religious society being destroyed by greedy and self motivated officers of

your government.

 

Sir, we are respectfully appealing to you to intervene in

this case. Please stop the abuse and destruction of the one element of

Indian religion which is active in your nation. Please allow these people to

live peacefully on their property in accordance to the vision of religious

equality that you have presented for the nation of Kazakhstan.

 

 

Sincerely,
