A/HRC/13/40/Add.1 Kazakhstan. However, his asylum claim in the Czech Republic was recently rejected and the conclusions of the migration service of the Czech Republic, which made a decision on his deportation, reportedly failed to take into account that four of his Muslim associates who stayed in Kazakhstan were imprisoned under falsified charge. Also, some procedural violations have been reported, such as incorrect translations from Russian into Czech of interviews, which failed to reflect some of the accounts relevant to the asylum claims. 76. While still in Kazakhstan, Mr. Imangaliev reportedly was subjected to persecution on the part of the authorities for religious reasons, namely in connection with alleged extremist views. Between 1999 and 2005, he was regularly called in by the National Security Committee (KNB) and questioned. In 2005, he was held in custody in a KNB isolator in Atyrau on two occasions: In early 2005, he was suspended from handcuffs and beaten on his kidneys by the officers. In late 2005, he was held for five days without his family being notified. Several members of his religious community have been arrested in recent years and some are still in detention. There are reports of them being harassed by prison staff in order to force them to give up their religious convictions. 77. Mr. Imangaliev and his family subsequently fled from Kazakhstan and founded a human rights organization in Prague, Czech Republic, where demonstrations have repeatedly been organized to protest against the violations of freedom of religion or belief by Kazakh authorities, which may lead to reprisals by the latter, in case he is returned to Kazakhstan. 78. It appears that a large number of asylum seekers from Kazakhstan (222 persons, including 54 minors born in emigration) are currently at risk of involuntary return to Kazakhstan. All of them claim to have been persecuted by Kazakhstani authorities on the basis of their beliefs, which have been labelled as “extremism”. (b) No response received from the Government (c) Observations of the Special Rapporteur 79. The Special Rapporteur regrets that she has so far not received a reply from the Government of the Czech Republic concerning the above mentioned allegations. She would like to take the opportunity to refer to her reports to the General Assembly, in which she dealt with the vulnerable situation of refugees and asylum-seekers (see A/62/280, paras. 3863; and A/64/159, paras. 22-24 and 67). In particular, she would like to recall the obligation of non-refoulement in article 33 of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees: “No Contracting State shall expel or return (‘refouler’) a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.” In addition, no reservation is permitted to article 33 of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.
