Events of November 21, 2006
This was seen and written by Ninel Fokina, president of the Almaty Helsinki
Committee and Andrei Grishin, official member of the International Bureau of
Human Rights and Law Observance.
On November 21, 2006 at 1 pm the information was received that according to
the court decision to evict the members of religion organization Society for
Krishna Consciousness from the occupied land near Sri Vrindavan Dham farm,
and the demolition of 13 country houses will begin immediately.
Heavy equipment was brought to the suburban community: trucks, demolition
machines, three busses with riot policemen, a bus with demolition squad and
the local authorities including the Hakim. Electricity was disconnected in
the morning of the same day.
There were only women and children in the village. All men went to work in
town.
The president of the Almaty Helsinki Committee Ninel Fokina tried to contact
different officials in Astana (the capital): B. Baikadamov, the envoy of
human rights, B. Muhamedjanov, the minister for internal affairs
I. Bakhtibayev, the assistant General Prosecutor; R. Aliev, the deputy
minister for foreign affairs.
She had a conversation with B. Baikadamov, the only person she could reach
at that time, who promised to communicate to the Committee of Religious
Affairs at the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Court
Administration Committee which includes the department of court decision
execution.
At 3 pm representatives of human rights organizations: Ninel Fokina, Andrei
Grishin, and Maxim Varfolomeev, press-secretary of the Society for Krishna
Consciousness, plus, a journalist and representative of Astana TV channel
left for the village which is located 40 km from Almaty.
All the roads to village were closed and patrolled by police. They would not
let anyone go through. The human rights representatives and the journalist
took detour through the fields. It was snowing, but they were able to reach
the border of the village because of the four-wheel-drive jeep they were
traveling in. But even that road was closed by patrol.
The jeep was not allowed to drive into the village. The patrol explained it
was instruction of authorities. When Grishin and the jeep driver tried to
pass by walk they were stopped and threatened to be put in handcuffs. And
the patrol promised to send for additional force.
Lieutenant colonel, who came with another patrol car, explained that they
are not allowed to the village for their own safety. He said that at that
time the electric line was being dismounted in the area.
The driver of the jeep had his wife and two months old daughter in the
village. He was begging to let him go through, but his request was denied.
He was told that safety is guaranteed to his family. This group could still
enter the village. They approached it from the other detour road, and
leaving the car on the sidewalk, one by one they entered the village.
As they approached the village they met two small groups of young people who
were not drunk but unnaturally exited.They held hammers, big dumb-bells,
metal crow-bars and sticks. Two of them politely greeted the group, and one
said gaily, “Your houses are finished.
Four big busses with toned windows and two cars of ambulance were parked at
the entrance of the village in the grove. 30-40 policemen stood by the
houses, and 20-30 people in civil clothes including the leaders of the
district with the Hakim, the head of local executive authority stood on the
street, watching the demolition.
It was snowing. Residents’ household stuff such as mattresses, blankets,
utensils cookware, and furniture were laying outside on the lawns by their
houses. People in construction outfits (labor people) got inside the houses
and started crushing windows and doors, destroying walls. The bulldozer was
demolishing the buildings and the big stone fencing with cast iron openwork
lattice which separated the houses from the driving area.
A small group of inhabitants (20-30 people, mostly women) did not offer
physical resistance. One of the women felt dizzy, fell down and was picked
up by the ambulance. Police was bringing down those few (basically women)
who tried to interfere with the destruction of their property. Two men tried
to prevent the entrance of destroyers into a house, but were brought down by
15 policemen who twisted their hands and took them away to the police car.
During all these events none of the representatives from the Office of
Public Prosecutor were present at the place of the event, even though both
Krishna people and legal service people demanded meeting with
representatives of the Office of Public Prosecutor who are obligated to be
present during this type of actions.
The Hakim of the Yetisu district who was personally responsible for this
action noticed A. Grishin photographing the destruction of the houses using
a digital camera and commanded the policemen to detain him. A. Grishin is an
officer of the Human Rights Bureau and a journalist.
To avoid confiscation of the camera A. Grishin tried to escape. He ran away
by 200 meters and was caught by the police. Police officers confiscated his
digital camera and took away his journalist certificate.
Then he was let free, but police refused to return the camera, saying that
they would give it to the Hakim. The camera was indeed found in the car of
the Hakim, but the flash card and the batteries were confiscated. When
Grishin approached the Hakim to find out for what reason his camera and his
journalist ID were confiscated, the Hakim told in front of the witnesses,
“If I see you here again, I will personally crash Your eyes, even though I
am the Hakim.”
No one of the policemen, who took part in the camera and ID confiscation,
wanted to reveal their names.
Ms. Fokina was able to talk with the assistant of the General prosecutor I.
Bakhtibayev, who did confirm that he would contact the prosecutor of the
province and he would work out this situation.
The envoy of human rights E. Baikadamov, who was also contacted, said that
the president of the Court Administration Committee Z. Makashev confirmed
that he would contact immediately the provincial department and would give
the appropriate instructions.
All the attempts of the representatives of the human rights organizations to
find the people in charge of the operation and give them any information
were unsuccessful.
All the present officials refused to speak and declared that they were not
responsible for the action. The Police colonels would point at bailiffs. The
bailiffs did not confirm their being bailiffs.
The OSCE representatives in Almaty Eugenia Benigni and Lisa Zhumakhmetova
did not make it to the village. Their car just was stoped by police.
When the darkness fell, at around 6 pm, everything was finished: 13 houses
destroyed, people thrown to the snowbound street, the village left without
electricity, without heat and water.
The condition of the witnesses can be described as shock. The condition of
the people who were thrown from their destroyed houses to the dirt and snow
cannot be described.
When all the 13 buildings were destroyed as was planned ... while the
adjacent houses of other people who do not belong to the Society for Krishna
Consciousness were left untouched even though their title deeds have the
same status ... the bailiffs decided to give an interview to the TV channel
“to avoid one-sided opinion.” However no one of them introduced himself. The
only thing they could say, “we are executing the court decision.”
Neither the Hakim, nor the police chiefs, nor the bailiffs would listen to
the arguments that the governmental commission established to solve the
issue around the Society for Krishna Consciousness has not yet come to final
decision.
Notice: the notifications of eviction and demolition of the 13 houses owned
by members of the cottage cooperative, who are the members of the religious
organization Society for Krishna Consciousness, were delivered to the
watchman of Sri Vrindavan Dham in the evening of November 20. The date of
execution and the period for evacuating the buildings were not stated. It
should be noted that the acting Kazakh law does not stipulate such a kind of
eviction as the demolition of houses, and the eviction should be accompanied
by the inventory of property removed from the evacuated building, while the
storage of this property should be provided is necessary.

MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE FROM MAYAPUR
TO HIS HOLINESS BHAKTI BRNGHA GOVINDA MAHARAJA, AND THE ASSEMBLED DEVOTEES
IN KAZAKHSTAN:
The Directors, Management, and assembled international devotees in Mayapur
offer their deepest sympathies to each of you in this most awful of times,
during this extreme situation you have been placed in. You should know that
our prayers are with you daily. It is impossible to imagine the horror that
you have experienced, watching your homes and temple destroyed in such a
vicious manner.
We wish to extend ourselves to you all to the best of our limited abilities:
we are presently trying to arrange for some senior devotees to visit
Kazakhstan to assist you in any way possible; we offer our facilities to any
of you who wish to come and stay here while the practical aspects of your
lives are sorted out, that you might take solace in this most merciful
dhama, in the loving association of devotees; we are in full support of some
members of our community going to Delhi to assist Govinda Maharaja in his
media campaign and Parliamentary appeals; and last, but most definitely not
least, HG Jananviasa Prabhu is arranging Nrsimha puja and offerings on
behalf of Kazakhstan devotees, for your spiritual upliftment and protection.
Devotees of Iskcon Kolkata along with their congregation members have
arranged for their own protest in Kolkata tomorrow, have invited media
people to the cover the event.
As the World Headquarters of ISKCON, Mayapur Directors and management urges
all temples to please offer themselves in whatever capacity they can:
Kazakhstan devotees have lost everything. The Government also took away
their personal possessions -- clothing, furniture, everything. Devotees in
Mayapur are gathering whatever financial resources they can to offer to
Kazakhstan devotees, and we encourage that worldwide communities do the
same: their need is very, very real.
With prayers that we unite as one family under Srila Prabhupada's guidance,
