Baku. Shahriyar Alizadeh – APA. Members of the Joint Working Group on Human Rights—Novella Jafaroglu, Seadet Bananyarli, Saida Gojamanli, Zaliha Tahirova, Eldar Zeynalov, and Avaz Hasanov—on Tuesday held a meeting to discuss the situation of human rights in Azerbaijan.
Avaz Hasanov told APA that they discussed the latest arrests, including Natiq Jafarli’s arrest, and other issues of human rights, noting that the release of a number of civic society representatives in recent months is a positive step forward but the latest arrests are a big concern.
The human rights defenders planned holding meetings with representatives of international organizations and holding discussions with law enforcement agencies on the cases of the arrested people.
