[KavkazUzel] The International Association of Human Rights Defenders demanded that the Azerbaijani authorities release the leaders of the Abzas Media publication, as well as other arrested journalists and activists. The court has set a date for considering complaints against the arrests of Ulvi Hasanli and Sevinj Vagifgizi, lawyers said. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the arrest of the director of the online publication Abzas Media Ulvi Hasanli (also referred to in the media as Hasanli) is related to the publication's anti-corruption investigations and contradicts Azerbaijan's obligations as a member of the Council of Europe, three PACE rapporteurs indicated in a joint statement on November 23 and called for the release Hasanli and his colleague Sevinj Vagifgyzy. Accusations against journalists of the publication of smuggling are implausible, Azerbaijani human rights activists confirmed. |
