Žižek and three other scholars decried Samadov’s sentencing for his anti-war stance.

The resolution ‘strongly’ condemns the arrest of Ali Karimli, chair of the opposition Popular Front Party, and calls for his immediate release.

Samadov was recently temporarily transferred to a new prison and placed in poor conditions.

Azerbaijan should align its actions to its commitment to peace — free Bahruz Samadov now.

Bahruz Samadov has already tried to commit suicide twice while in detention.

The South Caucasus is standing at a crossroads — yet our struggles are connected and none of us can afford to stand alone.

Samadov, who has also contributed to OC Media, frequently wrote about authoritarianism in Azerbaijan.
