Kazakhstan - Awarded human rights defender Vadim Kuramshin under psychological torture - do you care?

Kazakhstan 2014; concentration camps and living gulags. Asia's 5 worst dictators. Vadim is a Christian.

Campaign Kazakhstan (January 13, 2014) Psychological pressure on Vadim Kuramshin continues: "His situation is full of stress. Because of his insomnia, he cannot get enough sleep. One morning, after yet another sleepless night, he got up at the morning alarm call and put his bunk in order. He dressed, drank tea and sat down on his bunk again.

As he sat down a bright light lit up over his bunk. As a reaction to the sharp pain in his head, he shut his eyes just as the guard entered the cell shouting “Kuramshin, are you still asleep?”.  Vadim went up to him, pointed out he was dressed and fully awake, and that he would very much like to sleep as he had been awake all night, but that at that moment he had been merely sitting down. Nevertheless the guard wrote a report and the next day Vadim was called to write an explanation, which he refused to do."

"Vadim has become very thin. Vessels in his eyes have burst. It was clear from how he looked that Vadim’s health has been damaged. He suffers from bad insomnia due to serious headaches. Although he has been to the medical officer on several occasions for treatment, all they do is wring their hands with inaction."


Kazakhstan International bureau of human rights and rule of law (26.11.2013):

Harassment of civil society activists and violations of freedom of assembly: "Vadim Kuramshin is serving a 12-year prison sentence that appears to represent retaliation for his work to promote prisoners’ rights, including at a 2012 OSCE human rights conference. Concerns about his safety and well-being are reinforced by the fact that he is held in a prison where he has previously reported about abuse."
