Kazakh Government destroying Devotees homes in Kazakhstan.

[Guest guest]

On November 20, 2006 at 6 AM an unidentified person delivered a stack of

orders from the Executors of the Karasai District Court. The orders stated

that the owners of cottages must destroy thier homes, or they will be

destroyed by the government at the expense of the owners.

 

24 hours later 3 busses full of riot police, 2 ambulances, 2 empty lorries,

and executors of Karasai district arrived at the Hindus farm to destroy

thier homes and personal temples.

 

They have strictly cordoned off the area to prevent journalists, human

rights observers, and congregation from entering the area.

 

As of 16:25 (4:25 PM) they have destroyed three homes and broken out the

window of all of the hindus home. At the present it is snowing and is

subzero weather.

 

When I last communicated with Kazakhstan the officials were destroying the

home of one mother and her newly born infant daughter. Her husband was not

present as he was in Almaty.

 

The Chairman of the Commission that was established to work on the issue,

Amanbek Mukhashov, was phoned from India. When he was question he simply

closed the telephone call.

 

Mr. Yerlan and Mr. Tulesov, of the Religion committee, have both recently

made statements that the work of the commission is still in progress.

They both said they had no idea what was happening.

 

In India the Kazakhstan Ambassador, Mr. Umarov, could only repeat the

incorrect information which he has recieved from the Kazakhstan central

government.

 

The president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, is at the present moment

in England seeking economic investment for his country.

 

This attack is a follow up to foiled attempt to destroy homes in April

2006. The result of that action was international outcry regarding the

disregard of human rights of the Kazakh government.

 

The acts constitute religious discrimination against a minority religion in

Kazakhstan, as well as a collusion of the local government with the land

mafia of Kazakhstan.

 

The issue is under observation by OSCE and International Human rights

organisations.

 

We are requesting concerned persons around the world to appeal to your

foreign ministry to take up this issue with the Kazakh government.

 

As of sending this letter, two more home have been destroyed, including the

home of one elderly devotee lady who has a retarded son, and no other place

to go.
