Oil workers in the Mangystau Province of Kazakhstan have been on strike for several months. Recently, they were brutally attacked by police, resulting in at least 10 deaths (see: http://libcom.org/blog/striking-work...hstan-16122011 (http://www.anonym.to/?http://www.anonym.to/?http://libcom.org/blog/striking-workers-slaughtered-kazakhstan-16122011) & http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/17/wo..._r=2&ref=world (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/17/world/asia/deaths-in-rare-violence-in-kazakhstan.html?_r=2&ref=world) ).
A Workers Solidarity fund has been set up to "provide support for the strikers families and especially children." It's being overseen by a committee of well known figures in Kazakhstan to make sure all the money goes where it's intended.
For $25 US dollars (or more), you will get a copy of the Sun Rise Above CD "Prisoners of War," a poster, and a sticker sent to you anywhere in the world. All the money left over after shipping will be immediately contributed to the fund. (See http://sunriseabove.bandcamp.com/album/prisoners-of-war (http://www.anonym.to/?http://www.anonym.to/?http://sunriseabove.bandcamp.com/album/prisoners-of-war) to preview the album)
