On Friday Committee to Protect the rights of Islamists held hearing in connection with the double standards against believers; the event was held in the Media Center IRFS.
It was noted that over the past three or four years mass arrests of believers took place, but no one in the country or abroad gave proper evaluation of this.
The participants also condemned the human rights activists who defended political prisoners, but did not provide the same support for the arrested believers.
Committee to Protect Islamists sent appeal to PACE , which noted that international organizations do not support the Islamists.
The authors remind about problems in the 90s of the last century regarding the registration of social and political structures of Islamic persuasion. These problems continue and now.
The appeal also criticized policy of official Baku in the sphere of religion: the ban on the azan , the demolition of mosques, ban on headscarves in schools. All this causes protests of believers , for which they are subsequently harassed and arrested.
"It is not comparable with the desire of official Baku to represent Azerbaijan as a country of religious tolerance. Is it tolerance when believers are imprisoned and tortured when they demand their rights," said religious activist and member of the Committee to Protect Islamists, Rovshan Ahmadli.
Speakers noted the facts of physical and moral pressure on believers in prison. In particular, prisoners are beaten and put in solitary confinement for committing azan prayer and execution. At the same time, it is unknown exactly how many believers have died in custody.
Some speakers accused the Azerbaijani delegation to the PACE, which deliberately informs the international community about the radicalism and aggressiveness of believers in Azerbaijan.
In conclusion they read for the Committee of the PACE, which contained a list of the faithful, who were arrested for trying to defend their right to freedom of consciousness. -05C04-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
