Urgent appeal for prisoner rights campaigner
Vadim Kuramshin, a prison rights campaigner arrested 6 months ago on trumped-up charges has declared that if the trial against him is not resumed within ten days he will start a hunger strike. He has informed Samat Tolesbayu, the judge of the Zhambulskaya oblast interregional court responsible for presiding over his trial, that a hunger strike would be a protest against the attempts to drag out the hearing and against his rights being restricted during the jury trial. Vadim stated that the evidence presented during his trial has revealed a number of crimes perpetrated by government officials.
We ask all supporters of Campaign Kazakhstan to protest personally against the unjust imprisonment of Vadim Kuramshin. Vadim is one of the best known activists in Kazakhstan and has been working with the Socialist Movement of Kazakhstan for many years. He faces a prison sentence of many years!
