Leaks suggest #Azerbaijan has subjected 100s of govt critics to secret #surveillance, using #Pegasus spyware.
With partners, we have challenged the unlawful secret surveillance of 9 #humanrightsdefenders, lodging submissions at the ECtHR and UN HRC.

@keane_dave @LawGovDCU Great news, David. Richly deserved!

[Ellen Bork @EllenBork]

For @TheBushCenter, I wrote about Osman Kavala, a Turkish businessman and philanthropist imprisoned for life thanks to the conspiratorial world view of President Erdogan. Unfortunately, American academic @hbarkey has been caught up in the same injustice. https://t.co/nEfk20jcF4

In Bratsylo and others v Russia, the #HumanRights Ctte found
- the way in which Russian law was imposed in Crimea was unlawful

15 years ago, Natalya Estemirova was murdered after being abducted from her home in Grozny. Today, #humanrights defenders in Chechnya and the wider Russian Federation continue to be targeted and face severe risk for their crucial work.

A compelling and significant public statement from the CPT in the face of Azerbaijan’s total lack of engagement in relation to the perpetration of torture by its public officials. Strong and meaningful action required from CoE states (such as sanctions) https://t.co/ibz2QrQTrq

Final hearing of the Tahir Elçi murder trial. At the start of the trial we asked whether the court would probe the full circumstances of rights defender Elçi’s killing or instead try to exonerate the police at all costs. Today we will see. https://t.co/gflbplMfsl

[Philip Leach @PhilipLeach5]

We all call for justice for Tahir Elci and his family

[Mary Lawlor @MaryLawlorhrds]

I've continued to follow the murder trial for Tahir Elçi in #Turkiye & hope that those responsible for his killing will be held accountable in tomorrow's judgement. It is critical that perpetrators of murder are brought to justice & impunity does not prevail @TC_BMCenevreDT

[Turkey Litigation Support Project @TR_Litigation]

⌛️Hearing tomorrow: Before the Diyarbakır 10. Assize Court in the case concerning #TahirElci's killing.

+30 NGOs have demanded justice and accountability and asked the UN Special Rapporteurs to take action.
