In a surprise move, 11 homes owned by members of ISCKON, a religious minority group in Kazakhstan, have been demolished by the local police, leaving the families homeless in freezing temperatures and winter snow, the organisation has alleged.
Incidentally, the bulldozing began even while a state special commission - appointed to investigate allegations of religious harassment against Hindus in Kazakhstan - had promised that no government action would be taken until the commission made its findings public.
The dispute began a few months ago when ISCKON members stared developing a cultural center on a piece of land owned by them on the outskirts of the capital Almaty.
The governor of the region however, wanted the court to evict the members from the site, according to reports appearing in the ISCKON website.
