Call of Committee Against Repression and Torture of Azerbaijan to International Human Rights Organizations
The coordinator of the Committee against Repression and Torture of Azerbaijan, Ogtay Gyulalyev, needs your help. He was hit by a car on October 29, 2019, when he was returning from a Committee meeting, and fell into a coma from his injury. Unfortunately, due to untimely medical assistance, his state of health became critical, and he is in a serious situation.
Doctors at the American Hospital in Istanbul are fighting for his life. Qualified medical assistance is provided thanks to the financial support from the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, which has been allocating funds for treatment for more than a month. However, from December 10, the Fund suspends financing of the treatment in Turkey and offers to continue the treatment in Azerbaijan. We are not sure that in Azerbaijan this treatment can be effective. To continue qualified treatment, funds and advisory assistance from leading experts in the field of brain injury are needed.
Addressing you, we urge you to make your efforts to support the further treatment of Ogtay Gyulalyev and save his life.
We hope for your human rights solidarity.

Modern wars test humanity's resilience, compelling a reevaluation of priorities and values. In such times, it is especially crucial to demonstrate not only strength but also a commitment to the principles of international law and humanity. Ukraine, facing an unprecedented scale of armed aggression from the Russian Federation, continues to uphold the norms of international humanitarian law (IHL) while resisting this aggression. The Voluntary Report presented by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has become a symbol of transparency, accountability, and the pursuit of justice.

"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.
