Urgent! Human rights defender Vadim Kuramshin beaten and intimidated in prison

Kazakhstan. April, 29, 2014. His life is in danger! Do you care? (Kazakhstan prisoners' cry for help)


Vadim is threatened: "During this (family) visit, Ekaterina noticed that Vadim was obviously under psychological pressure – he had difficulty expressing his thoughts, was nervous and hardly ever sleeps. When she asked Vadim how he had received the bruises, he simply said he “had fallen”. Vadim did say, however, that the prison authorities had warned him that if any more complaints were made, “the next time he would be beaten by those who had not yet managed to do so!”.

You can send protests to the embassy and letters to Vadim Kuramshin to encourage him (the address is in the link above). 
“Even before this attack, Vadim was concerned that something of this sort would happen, or that he would face provocations from his ‘cell-mate’ trying to create a conflict”. He had reported that the other person sharing the cell with him is constantly trying to create an argument. Vadim assured his lawyer that he would do all in his power not to succumb to such provocations.
