Pope Francis called for peace to be restored in Kazakhstan through ‘dialogue and justice’ while speaking in St Peter’s Square in Vatican City on Sunday.
“I hope that social harmony will be restored as soon as possible through the search for dialogue, justice, and the common good,” said the pontiff during his speech.
Unrest has gripped Kazakhstan after unauthorised rallies began in the Mangistau region on Sunday, as prices of LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) rose from 60 to 120 tenge (€0.12 to €0.24; $0.14 to $0.28) per litre since January 1. The price hike came after the government lifted price controls on LPG, citing a need to liberalise the market.
According to Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Health, over 1,000 people have been injured during the ongoing protests, and almost 400 have been hospitalised. Over 4,000 people have been detained and dozens killed since the protests started.

SOT, Pope Francis, Head of Catholic Church and sovereign of Vatican City State (Italian): “I have learned with sorrow that there have been victims during the protests that have broken out in recent days in Kazakhstan. I pray for them and for their families, and I hope that social harmony will be restored as soon as possible through the search for dialogue, justice and the common good. I entrust the Kazakh people to the protection of Our Lady, Queen of Peace of Oziornoje.”
