The updated list of political prisoners was prepared by human rights activists, Leyla Yunus, director of the "Institute of Peace and Democracy", and Elshan Hasanov, head of the "Public Association Monitoring Center for Political Prisoners".
At that, the "Freedom of Political Prisoners Union of Azerbaijan" says that the list of political prisoners was prepared in accordance with "Resolution #1900 on Political Prisoners" adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in October 2012.
The Azerbaijani authorities do not accept statements about the presence of political prisoners in the country as biased. Official Baku says that fundamental rights are fully ensured in the country and people are not persecuted on the basis of their will and beliefs.
Note that the "Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe" adopted a "Resolution On Political Prisoners in Azerbaijan" in 2021. -03D-

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
