Kazakhstan: Old habits: The routine use of torture and other ill-treatment in Kazakhstan

, Index number: EUR 57/001/2013

The authorities of Kazakhstan have failed to hold the security forces accountable and to carry out an independent investigation into their abuses. It is time to change a culture that always ranks security above human rights. Reform is long overdue and real changes should be introduced as a matter of urgency. Victims of government abuses and their families are still waiting for justice.
