August 8, 2014
On June 30, 2014 me and my husband Arif were accused in committing number of grave crimes, including treason with falsified charges. Then I was placed into the detention facility in Kurdakhani.
On August 5 they have arrested Arif and brought him to Kurdakhani detention facility.
On August 7, he was taken to the Ministry of National Security’s detention place.
I have been dealing with the political prisoners issue and am very well aware of tortures applied by the MNS.
I perfectly understand the intention to physically destroy my family - Arif and myself.
In 2005 right after the murder of Elmar Huseynov, I was warned that my assassination is also planned. Of course, I was afraid. Evidently, the decision to kill me was cancelled as we made this information public .
But the bloody tyranny does not have any limitations in 2014. I realize that Arif and I will be tortured brutally and to death. ...
Dear supporters, talk about this, Speak UP!
Raise your voice, make yourself heard. Let them hear and know what kind of bloody tyranny is running Azerbaijan-the country chairing the Council of Europe.
Leyla Yunus.

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.

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.
