The events of 2011 still keep in awe the population of Zhanaozen(a city on the west of Kazakhstan). Recently I’ve seen a documental film narrating the life of those who then rebelled against the negligent treatment of employers, and of their relatives. To tell the truth, I stand aghast at what’s been shown. People’s rights were overridden, their money was detained, the hunger strike was extremely cruelly suppressed without even listening to what those people demanded. And, really, what did they demand? Just a fair treatment from the side of their employers in the face of several oil companies who dishonestly cleaned out their poor employees working 24/7 trying to feed their families. Nowadays many of those people are killed, the rest are afraid of speaking avoiding the same destiny. What can they do if their advocates were either killed or locked up?( take for example the case of Natalya Sokolova, condemned for 8 years) The affair was hushed up. After such a practice, what justice and democracy we’re talking about?!
