Dear President Nazarbayev,
It is with deep regret that we have been informed of your government's
attempted confiscation of the land which is owned by the Kazakhstan
Society
for Krishna Consciousness.
The land has been legally purchased and privatised according to the
land
codes of Kazakhstan.
But since 2004 there has been ongoing litigation in an attempt by
government officials to steal the land where the Kazakhstan Society
for
Krishna Consciousness has been officially registered, and situated,
for
the past seven years.
On March 29, 2006 a hearing was conducted in the Almaty Provincial
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 and District Hakimat.
Yet, when the decision was read it was ruled that the land at issue be
returned to the land reserve of Kazakhstan. The decision of the court
was
enacted due to executive pressure as it violates legislative and
procedural
rules of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
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 the greed of self motivated
officers.
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,
<Your details here>
