Dear President,
We are very concerned about the new Law on Religion as well as other legal provisions also regarding religious issues passed by your country’s Parliament in September 2011. According to credible sources, they are especially directed against non-Russian Orthodox and non-Hanafi Muslim minorities in your country and provide a basis for their intimidation.
As a matter of urgency, we call on you to see to it that religious liberty is ensured in Kazakhstan in accordance with article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations, of which your country is a member.
Yours sincerely and respectfully, |
