"Line of Defense" on the Situation of Human Rights in Azerbaijan
Baku/30.04.21/Turan: In Azerbaijan, the number of violations of the rights of citizens and the secrets of family and private life has increased in recent months.

The rights to confidential communication with a lawyer and access to quality medical care are also violated.
Thus, in April, on trumped-up charges, the following were arrested: PFPA supporter Lachin Veliyev, Musavat activist Nizamali Suleymanov and his nephew. The real prison term was received by the activist of the PFPA party Sayeed Bakuvi, who during the investigation was under a signature not to leave.
The organization also condemned the dispersal of those gathered for the funeral of the martyr in the village of Nardaran and the violation of the rights of the defendants in the "Ganja", "Terter" and "Tovuz" cases.
