Baku/15.12.22/Turan: The Norwegian Helsinki Committee demanded the immediate release of the human rights activist and critic of the government Bakhtiyar Hajiyev, who was arrested last week, as well as the cancellation of the false charges against him, the statement of the committee published on its Facebook page.
It states that Hajiyev faces up to three years in prison.
“We believe that he is being persecuted for his political activities and criticism of the authorities. Bringing questionable criminal charges against critics or sentencing them to lengthy prison terms restricts freedom of speech and casts doubt on the Azerbaijani government's claims of commitment to reform,” says the Norwegian Helsinki Committee. ---16D---
