Submission to EU-Azerbaijan Human Rights Dialogue

Submission to EU-Azerbaijan Human Rights Dialogue
5 pages / 131 KB

According to the most recent report released by the Azerbaijani civil society working group documenting cases of political prisoners in Azerbaijan, there are currently over 150 such prisoners in the country. The exact number fluctuates given occasional releases and new arrests. The list contains the names of journalists, bloggers, editors, religious activists, political activists and others who human rights defenders deem have been deprived of their liberty on politically motivated grounds. This joint submission of the OMCT and the IPHR describe a few selected cases of individuals who have been prosecuted, arrested and imprisoned in retaliation for their exercise of freedom of expression, association and assembly and other fundamental rights. It further highlights a number of cases in which detainees were tortured or ill-treated.
