Swift and intense reaction required by Council of Europe for the release of civic activist @MammadliAnar in @CoE member state #Azerbaijan. He is a well-known human rights lawyer, respected for his work monitoring elections and promoting democracy. He received the Vaclav Havel award of the CoE Parliamentary Assembly, @PACE_News, in 2014. Reaction should not be left to Assembly - also CoE leadership, Secr General @MarijaPBuric and Committee of Ministers led by @LIEatCoE, should act
With all the scrutiny on Azerbaijan after round after round of arrests of journalists, civic activists, even as it prepares to host upcoming #COP29 , authorities detain prominent civic activist Anar Mammadli. A truly brazen move. He should be released immediately.

Inhuman prison conditions in #Belgium are worsening even further, observes the Committee on the Prevention of Torture of the @coe. Decades of CPT reports incl an exceptional 'public statement' in 2017 have not been seriously followed up by the authorities. And where are the Belgian parliamentarians, incl members of @PACE_News, who should hold their authorities accountable?

“Human rights must be understood first and foremost as rights for all of humanity, universal in nature. They are fundamental rights, in that they are both rooted in the human person and are the foundation of humanity.”

PACE adoption of the resolution “Silencing critical voices in Azerbaijan” is an important recognition of the scale of Azerbaijan’s human rights crisis.
Recognition now needs to be followed by action.

In a @coe member country, the main opposition has been decimated by the ruling party through politicised trials, yet neither @alain_berset nor @CommissionerHR has said a word. They are sleepwalking in full swing. @CURE_coe

🔴 On 29 April 2024, Azerbaijani human rights defender Anar Mammadli was detained on trumped-up charges. He remains in pre-trial detention. His health is deteriorating.
🔴 With partners, we are challenging Anar’s detention as unlawful and politically motivated.

Report by eight human rights NGOs on deportation of journalist by #Georgia to #Azerbaijan in defiance of @ECHR_CEDH order. Four steps demanded from @coe Secretary General @alain_berset
Georgia arrested a journalist on a fake charge at midnight, deported him to Azerbaijan, ignored a binding European Court order to protect him.
Eight organisations are demanding the Council of Europe acts. It's silence is threatening its credibility.
