The Public Alliance "Azerbaijan Without Political Prisoners" issued a statement condemning the continuing illegal arrests of activists, poor conditions of detention of political prisoners and the pressure on them.
The Alliance condemned the arrest of the journalist Seymour Hazy, violation of the confidentiality of correspondence of the arrested human rights activist Intigam Aliyev and his legal counsel, continued pressure on the activist Leyla Yunus, who suffers from diabetes, and the failure to provide her medical care.
The statement also points to the conviction on trumped-up charges of hooliganism for 4 years in prison of the activist of the Tovuz district organization of the Classic Popular Front Party, a member of the Internet TV Channel 13, Vugar Ismayilov.
The pressure on the young activist Orkhan Eyubzadeh, which is kept in solitary confinement for 15 days, is continued.
The Alliance called on the authorities to stop the repression against activists and release all the political prisoners. -16D06-
