"During his imprisonment he suffered brutal torture at the hands of prison guards and trustee prisoners. --- he regime has good reason to fear Vadim Kuramshin’s campaigning against corruption."
"Vadim was first arrested at the beginning of 2012 after he attempted to expose corruption at the Kordai border crossing in Southern Kazakhstan. Kept in prison for 7 months he was eventually found innocent by a jury of all the serious charges against him and released. He was again arrested in early December and this time taken to a court with no jury, where, in breach of many of the court’s own procedures, Vadim was pronounced guilty and sent to prison for 12 years on the same charges on which he had first been acquitted.--- During his imprisonment he suffered brutal torture at the hands of prison guards and trustee prisoners. --- he regime has good reason to fear Vadim Kuramshin’s campaigning against corruption. --- The College of Advocates to which Raziya Nurmasheva belongs is equally shocked. This is the first time that such an action has been taken in Kazakhstan. Since then the situation has only become worse. Vadim reports that the KNB are demonstrating intense activity around his case making him worry that they will attempt to use other methods of getting rid of him." (read more in link)

Presskonferens: medverkande bla. Andrei Tsukanov och Vadim Kuramshins äldste son (jurist) mfl.från kommittén för skydd av Vadim Kuramshin. Den 12 åriga och felaktiga domen mot mänskorättsaktivisten Kuramshin är en fruktansvärd skandal! Den 7.12.2012 dömdes han till 12 års fängelse aklagad för samma sak som han under sensommaren 2012 frikändes från! Vadims advokater Razia Nurmasheva och sonen har drabbats av repressalier i sina yrken pga försvaret av Kuramshin. Nurmasheva fick inte tillfälle att träffa sin klient Kuramshin i fängelset för att sammanställa ett överklagande i Taraz utan har avstängts från fallet. Orsaken är president Nazarbayevs godtyckliga rättsprocedur och politiska system.
Press conference. Participants: Andrei Tsukanov and Vadim Kuramshins eldest son (lawyer) from the Committee for protection of Vadim Kuramshin and others. The unrighteous sentence (12 years imprisonement) is inhuman and a terrible disgrace! On December 12th 2012 he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the same accusations that he was acquitted of in August 2012! Vadims lawyers Razia Nurmasheva and his son have suffered reprisals in their professions due to the defense of Kuramshin. Nurmasheva did not get the opportunity to meet with her client Kuramshin in prison (Taraz) in order to prepare an appeal, but was instead excluded from the case. The reason is the president Nazarbayevs arbitrary procedure and political system.

Kidnappningsförsöket av Ainur Kurmanov i centrala Moskva:
http://socialismkz.info/article/1357694972
Den 15.12.2012 gjorde Kazakhstansk specialpolis (underrättelsetjänsten) ett försök att kidnappa en av Vadim Kuramshins vänner Ainur Kurmanov från ett centralt torg i Moskva. Vänner och vänsteraktivister lyckades skydda honom. Det gjordes två kidnappningsförsök. En av de gripna männen var en officer från den ryska underrättelsetjänsten. Förfrågningar gjordes till olika ryska myndigheter med anledning av händelsen. Risken för nya kidnappningsförsök kvarstår med rubriceringen "uppvigling till socialt hat". Man vädjar om stöd hos den ryska vänstern och oppositionen att visa solidaritet i försvaret av socialismens rättigheter i Kazakstan och förhindra utlämning till hemlandet. Kurmanov uppehåller sig lagligt i Ryssland. Se video om kidnappningsförsöket!
On December 15, 2012 Special police from Kazhakstan (intelligence) made an attempt to kidnap one of Vadim Kuramshin's friends; Ainur Kurmanov from a central square in Moscow. Friends and leftists managed to protect him. There were two kidnapping attempts. One of the arrested was an officer of the Russian secret service. Inquiries were made to various Russian authorities as a result of the incident. The risk of a new kidnapping persists and could be motivated by the regime as "attempt of social hatred". The socialist movement appeals for support among the Russians (left) and the opposition to show solidarity in the defense of socialism rights in Kazakhstan and avoid extradition to his home country. Kurmanov is staying legally in Russia. Watch video of kidnap attempt!
