Kazajstán - No progress in the investigation of the violent attack against Dimitri Sinyavsky

Four years after the events, there has been no progress in investigation of the violent attack on Dimitri Sinyavsky, the chairman of the Karaganda Regional Branch of the Sectorial Union of Fuel and Energy Workers, which took place on 10 November 2018. The absence of effective investigations and judgements against parties guilty of violent attacks on trade unionists reinforces the climate of insecurity for victims and impunity for perpetrators, which are extremely damaging to the exercise of freedom-of-association rights in Kazakhstan.
