Another Call to Release Political Prisoners
The Public Association Center of Monitoring Political Prisoners appealed to President Ilham Aliyev and the Commission of Pardons.
The authors remind that the presence of political prisoners in the country deals a blow to the image of Azerbaijan. Their release on the eve of the European Games would enhance the image of Azerbaijan.
The authors of the address remind that official Baku has spent about 3 billion mantas on holding the European Games, but these Games will bring more harm than good.
* The Center for Monitoring Political Prisoners was established in October 2014. The founders of the new agency are the leaders of several NGOs: Elshan Hasanov, Mehdi Shamilli, Tural Abbasli, Ahad Mammadli and Rufat Hajibeyli. The association monitors the situation with political prisoners. -05D--

For Elshan Hasanov, a 46-year-old man with severe hearing impairment (fourth-degree), what should have been a straightforward process to receive government-provided hearing aids has turned into a bureaucratic nightmare involving three healthcare agencies. As a result, Hasanov is forced to pay nearly 60 manats ($35) several times a year for what used to be a free service—a cost he says is untenable on his modest disability pension.
