21 new names added to the list of political prisoners

The Union for the Freedom for Political Prisoners of Azerbaijan has published a new list of political prisoners in the country. The list includes the names of 375 people.

This is 21 more people than the list the union presented on February 12, 2025. The previous list contained 357 names.

The new list includes the names of journalist Ulviyya Ali, social activist Ahmad Mammadli, civil society members Bashir Suleymanli, Mammad Alpay, religious figures, members of The Azerbaijani Popular Front Party, and other recently arrested political and social activists.

The new list of political prisoners was compiled by Leyla Yunus, director of the Institute for Peace and Democracy, and Elshan Hasanov, head of the Political Prisoners Monitoring Center.

The Updated List by Categories:
  • Journalists and Bloggers: 29 people
  • Human Rights Defenders: 6 people
  • Opposition Party and Civil Society Members: 39 people
  • National Minority Activists: 5 people
  • Anti-War Activists: 2 people
  • Soyudlu Village Case: 2 people
  • Deported Political Refugees from Germany: 5 people
  • Religious Believers: 241 people
  • Tartar Case Convicts: 8 people
  • Ganja Case Convicts: 13 people
  • Life Imprisonment Sentences:​ 12 people
  • Imishli Case Detainees: 13 people

The authors stated that the list was compiled based on the criteria for defining the concept of “political prisoner” set out in the relevant resolution No. 1900 adopted at the session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in October 2012.

The Azerbaijani authorities unequivocally deny that there are political prisoners in the country, stating that no one is arrested for their different opinions or political positions, but rather for specific criminal acts.

The post Number of Political Prisoners in Azerbaijan is updated: 375 people appeared first on MEYDAN.TV.
