Political Prisoners In Azerbaijan

EDM number 688 in 2013-14, proposed by Paul Flynn on 06/11/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Asia, Eastern Europe and Human rights.

That this House observes that the already dire situation of human rights abuses in Azerbaijan has deteriorated further in the past year; is appalled that the ten-month imprisonment on trumped-up charges of two opposition politicians continues; and calls on the Government to make representations on behalf of Ilgar Mammadov and Yeni Musavat, plus many others imprisoned for political reasons by the Aliyev regime.

This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
