Bolat Atabayev - Kazakhstan's Human Rights Desert

Bolat Atabayev speaks at San Francisco Freedom Forum 2012 Kazakhstan's Human Rights Desert www.OsloFreedomForum.com @OsloFF #SFFF Bolat Atabayev, a theater director and human rights advocate from Kazakhstan, discusses the totalitarian state that has persisted since 1989 under Nursultan Nazarbayev. Kazakhstan suffers from corruption and systematic repression. Opposition journalists are threatened and even killed. Atabayev was arrested by national security after supporting a strike of oil rig workers in western Kazakhstan in 2011. The workers were seeking better pay through peaceful demonstrations, but authorities shot and attacked the demonstrators. Seventeen workers were killed and over 100 were injured. Atabayev cites countless examples of horrid violations that were not granted any review by Kazakhstan courts, and discusses the many individuals who remain imprisoned because they supported the workers. Atabayev concludes his presentation with a warning that the scales of human rights versus coveted natural resources in Kazakhstan are terribly off balance. #oslofreedomforum Learn more about #OsloFreedomForum: Website: https://oslofreedomforum.com X (formerly known as Twitter):   / osloff   Instagram:   / osloff   Join us in promoting freedom where it’s most at risk!
