Campaign Kazakhstan held two very successful events in London, commemorating the second anniversary of the Zhanaozen massacre, and the ongoing struggles in Kazakhstan. On the 16 December, we held a protest at the Kazakhstan embassy, of which you can see a selection of photographs here http://www.demotix.com/news/3516956/protesters-london-demanding-justice-kazakhstan-oil-workers#media-3516846 and a short video on our facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=482079041908349&set=vb.129918950457695&type=2&theater .
Campaign Kazakhstan, alongside Article 19, also held a cultural event on 17 December. This featured a panel discussion, hearing from representatives of Campaign Kazakhstan, the Socialist Party and visitors to Zhanaozen reporting on their experiences. There was also a performance of imprisoned poet Aron Atabeks poetry, and music from Alfia Nakipbekova and James Hesford.
A fuller report and videos will come soon.
