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.

On Friday, prosecutors requested that Samadov, an OC Media contributor, be sentenced to 16 years in prison.
