Demand Rights at COP

Join the movement for human rights, climate justice, and the 300+ political prisoners in Azerbaijan #AliyevFreeThemAll

[Demand Rights at COP @RightsAtCOP]

In #Azerbaijan, authorities have locked up hundreds of dissidents on bogus criminal charges ahead of #COP29.

There cannot be climate justice while civil society is behind bars. #AliyevFreeThemAll

As #COP30 begins today we are reminded of last year's call by @RightsAtCOP that COP hosts must realize the rights to freedom of speech and assembly and that the interests of the fossil fuel industry should not undermine the credibility of COP https://t.co/40m3ypqV87

[Demand Rights at COP @RightsAtCOP]

Last year 45 international civil society organizations called for attention to human rights and climate justice ahead of #COP29. We renew those calls again today as #COP30 begins https://t.co/opmQUhcFow

[Demand Rights at COP @RightsAtCOP]

#COP29 began four months ago today. We look back on our campaign to expose #Azerbaijan's failure to uphold principles of human rights and environmental justice and how we mobilized to demand accountability. https://t.co/RIGSLAgXTD

The empty chair is for Rufat Safarov, who was awarded the @StateDept's Human Rights Defender Award today for his work documenting corruption & torture. Right now he is in prison in #Azerbaijan on politically motivated charges, another victim of an ever expanding crackdown.

[Demand Rights at COP @RightsAtCOP]

We call for the release of Aynur Elgunesh, Aitaj Tapdyg, Natik Javadli, Ramin Jabrailzade, and Hayala Agayeva. #AliyevFreeThemAll

[Freedom Now @freedomnoworg]

#Azerbaijan brazenly continues to target independent journalists. The latest act of repression is the detention of five @MeydanTV journalists on clearly politically motivated grounds. We call for their immediate release and for this harassment to end. https://t.co/SznpQIRJAu

[Demand Rights at COP @RightsAtCOP]

A reminder that even though #COP29 is over, repression continues in #Azerbaijan. #AliyevFreeThemAll

[Freedom Now @freedomnoworg]

We are deeply disturbed that Rufat Safarov has been detained in #Azerbaijan just days before he was to receive an award from the @StateDept for his human rights work. We call for his immediate release. https://t.co/7r4seOZmlp

One year after the November 2023 raids on @AbzasMedia, we explore how Azerbaijan’s escalating crackdown on independent media is suppressing critical voices nationwide.

Final day of #COP29 in #Azerbaijan, held amid the host country's vast crackdown on civil society and the press.

CPJ tells the story of the last of our more than a dozen Azerbaijani journalists jailed ahead of COP: Farid Mehralizada, who today spends his 30th birthday behind bars, without his newborn daughter. #FreeFarid 🧵⤵️

[Clooney Foundation for Justice @ClooneyFDN]

As #COP29 in #Azerbaijan ends, attention must not shift away from the country’s crackdown on dissent. Recently, proceedings against Gubad Ibadoghlu were indefinitely suspended. He spent nine months in detention, and is still under house arrest.

[Forbidden Stories @FbdnStories]

#COP29 is about to end in #Baku. Meanwhile, journalists from @AbzasMedia—whose work we pursued trough the #BakuConnection project—are being ill-treated in prison. We spoke with a colleague and a lawyer from their team. Read the full interview here. ⤵️

[Demand Rights at COP @RightsAtCOP]

When #COP29 started 2 weeks ago there were 319 political prisoners in #Azerbaijan. Today, there are still 319 political prisoners. We must not forget them as attention shifts away from the climate conference. We must continue to demand that #AliyevFreeThemAll
