Dear President,

I am writing to express my concern about the ongoing arbitrary detention of numerous journalists and media workers in the context of the 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (COP29).
In June 2025, a court in Baku sentenced Radio Free Europe correspondent Farid Mehralizade, and six journalists from the investigative news portal AbzasMedia to prison terms of between seven and a half and nine years: director Ulvi Hasanli, his deputy Mahammad Kekelov, editor-in-chief Sevinj Vagifgyzy, journalists Elnara Gasimova and Nargiz Absalamova, and investigative journalist Hafiz Babali.
Six employees of the news channel Meydan TV, Khayala Agayeva, Aytaj Ahmadova, Aynur Ganbarova, Natig Javadli, Aysel Umudova and Ramin Deko (Jabrayilzade), as well as the deputy director of the Baku School of Journalism, Ulvi Tahirov, have been in pre-trial detention since December 2024. Two of them are said to have been tortured and ill-treated, while others are being denied the necessary medical care.

As member / sympathizer of Amnesty International, I urge you to take all necessary steps to ensure an immediate release of all media workers arrested in retaliation for their critical reporting. Also, please initiate an effective investigation into all allegations of abuse and fabricated accusations. Please put an end to the clampdown on media and other independent voices in Azerbaijan.

Sincerely,
