Kazakhstan: Stop repression against union leaders r1 ... Just four days ago, I wrote to you about an attempt to crush independent trade unions in the former Soviet republic of Belarus.

Today, we need your help to fight against anti-union repression in another former Soviet republic, Kazakhstan.

At the end of July 2017, a Kazakhstan court convicted the chairwoman of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions (KNPRK) Larisa Kharkova. She has been sentenced to four years of restriction on freedom of movement and disqualification from elected leadership functions in the unions for five years.

Earlier, the vice-chairman of the KNPRK Nurbek Kushakbaev and the leader of the union at the Oil Construction Company plant Amin Eleussinov were sentenced to prison terms.

Join our campaign, which is sponsored by IndustriALL global union and the International Trade Union Confederation to tell the Kazakhstan government to stop anti-union repression now:

And please share this message with your friends, family and fellow union members.

Thank you!
