Dear staff members, correspondents, donors and volunteers
I know that many of you work extremely hard for our organization.
I am aware of the enormous amount of assistance you provide, the negotiations and awareness campaigns you undertake and the investigations you conduct on behalf of the preservation of press freedom. Some of you risk imprisonment in order to defend journalism. Some of you have already been imprisoned.
I also know that many of you, volunteers and donors, continue to be very generous towards our cause.
To all of you, I would like to say thank you! We owe a great deal to your courage, your support and your determination.
To everyone else, I would like to say that we continue to step up the frequency of our campaigns, our awareness-raising activities and our provision of information about abuses, but we need funding to be able to go on. This is why I must again appeal to you for financial support. Every dollar counts, each donation makes a difference regardless of its size.
Support the activities of Reporters Without Borders (RSF) by making a donation: https://donate.rsf.org
Thank you everyone and happy holidays!
Christophe.

My brother Jahangir Hajiyev has been in prison for eight and a half years, having a bouquet of severe chronic diseases. For eight years we have been trying to get the penitentiary service to provide him with minimal medical care and medical supervision. During these years he has repeatedly had exacerbations of his heart, blood pressure, hypertensive crises, exacerbations of his hormonal and immune systems, and pancreatic attacks. One time he was even called for an ambulance. Despite our repeated appeals, he is denied transfer to the central medical centre and the sanitary unit in the colony itself.

Azerbaijan has spent much of the past half-year thumbing its nose at the United States and European Union over Western criticism of Baku’s authoritarian political practices. But it appears the West has at least one weapon in its arsenal capable of getting Azerbaijani leaders’ attention.

Aliyev dwelled on the expanding North-South trade route – in which Azerbaijan serves as a hub for commerce connecting India, Iran and Russia – saying it had “global significance for cargo transportation and security.”

In honor of the holy month of Ramadan, I appeal to you with a plea for help and justice. Nine years have passed since the actions of our enemies plunged our family into darkness, depriving us of happiness and peace. Today they are trying to deprive our brother and me of our last home. This egregious act not only violates the laws of our country, but also ignores the fundamental right to housing, a principle that is supported throughout the world. It is important to note that the property in question was acquired in the 1990s, long before my brother Jahangir Hajiyev took up his position at the International Bank of Azerbaijan.
