This is a true act of cowardice from the Aliyev Regime!
Aliyev's security apparatus has launched a criminal against my bodyguard and a PFPA activist Novruz Taghiyev. Taghiyev has been detained since yesterday - he will now await the trial while detained at Kurdakhani jail. [1/5]

Ulviya Ali was an employee of Voice of America. After the Azerbaijan office of VOA was shut down, Ulviya Ali was left unemployed. Despite not working anywhere, she continued to shed light on the trials of political prisoners and bring attention to their issues through her Facebook and X accounts.

We demand freedom for our young female journalists who have been imprisoned as political prisoners! They are not criminals, but professional journalists. Their only “crime” is exposing corruption and repression, and bringing the people's problems to public attention.

Məhkəməni 20 maya təyin etmək Tofiq Yaqublunu faktiki ölümə məhkum etməkdir.

Today, a preparatory hearing was held at the Baku Court of Appeals regarding Tofiq Yaqublu's appeal. The court not only did not change the pretrial detention measure for Tofiq Yaqublu, but also set the next hearing for the latest possible date allowed by law.

Is denying a 65-year-old man—on the 34th day of a hunger strike—access to medical care not a deliberate act to hasten his death? What does the Aliyev regime hope to gain by allowing Tofig Yagublu to die in custody?

Лидер оппозиционной Партии народного фронта Азербайджана (ПНФА) Али Керимли поддержал стремления грузинского народа к свободным выборам и европейской интеграции.

Today, I attended the court hearing of the Toplum TV team. These journalists and civic activists have been imprisoned simply for attempting to establish an independent and professional internet-based media outlet in Azerbaijan. The regime continues to treat independent journalism as a threat.
