The moderators of the meeting will be: Freedom House President David Kramer, an analyst at the Foundation Open Society Gerald Knaus and the Foundation’s Administrator for Europe and Eurasia Paige Alexander.
The report recalls that the debate is caused by the sharp deterioration in the human rights situation in Azerbaijan over the past year, the continued pressure from the authorities on civil society, and arrests of human rights activists and journalists.
