To the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev,
and the Vice President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mrs. Mehriban Aliyeva

Dear Mr. President and Mrs. Vice President,
I am writing to you with deep hope and an earnest plea for help. For nine years, I have sought a resolution to my dire situation through various state institutions, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Main Department for Combating Organized Crime, the Penitentiary Service of the Ministry of Justice, and the State Property Service. Unfortunately, my appeals have been met with silence, forcing me to turn to the courts. Despite exhausting all judicial avenues, I remain without justice, and now I turn to you directly, relying on your compassion and leadership.
For years, I have been unable to sell my apartment. Officials from the State Property Service informed me that my name was included in a certain list, allegedly provided by the Main Department for Combating Organized Crime in 2015. This inclusion resulted in a ban on the sale of my property. I have no debts and have never taken any loans. The reason for this restriction remains a mystery to me.
Furthermore, my brother, Jahangir, who is currently incarcerated, has been denied the ability to issue a power of attorney to his lawyer for managing civil matters. Despite repeated written and verbal requests to the Penitentiary Service, we have received no response. This silence only exacerbates our anxiety and sense of helplessness.
Adding to our suffering is Jahangir’s deteriorating health. His condition is alarming: he suffers from hypoxia, a lack of oxygen to the brain and heart. Forced to live in a barrack with 200 other inmates, he regularly experiences episodes of illness. Medical professionals who occasionally visit Correctional Facility No. 13 have refused to provide us with any documentation of his health, citing the absence of authorization.
Mrs. Mehriban Aliyeva,
I appeal to you as a mother, a sister, and a woman. Over these nine torturous years, I have endured unimaginable trials. But as a sister, I feel it is my duty to persistently seek justice.
I am lost and desperate. I humbly and urgently request your intervention.
With deep respect and unwavering hope,
Amina Fevzi gizi Hajieva

Public figure and scholar Dr. Jamil Hasanly has expressed deep concern over the arrest of Natig Javadly, a journalist from Meydan TV, who has been charged with smuggling and placed in four months of pre-trial detention. For those familiar with him, this turn of events is hard to believe. Known for his integrity, intellect, and devotion to the truth, Javadly is considered one of Azerbaijan’s most respected journalists and thinkers.

"Human rights" derive their foundation from justice. Justice is natural and connected to creation. From the moment of birth, this right is naturally granted to every person. Law, however, is something given — limited to what parliaments deem appropriate for us. The extent to which parliament represents justice and fairness is always a matter of debate.

Why the Azerbaijani authorities use various institutions for the purpose of arresting journalists, writers, commentators, scientists, and activists is incomprehensible.

In Ukraine, a brutal, bloody war caused by Russian aggression continues, claiming lives, destroying homes, demolishing infrastructure, and inflicting incalculable harm on the environment and surrounding natural ecosystems. Ukraine, more than anyone else in this world, strives for peace, as we bear the daily brutality of this Russian-Ukrainian war. We are at the forefront of the struggle for the right to life, freedom, and justice. Ukraine seeks a just peace that will lay a solid foundation for a stable future for Europe and the World, and the only way of achieving this is to implement President Volodymyr Zelensky's Peace Formula (the Ukrainian Peace Formula).
