Statement of Leyla Yunus

 


On June 30, 2014 me and my husband Arif
were accused in committing number of grave crimes, including treason with
falsified charges.  Then I was placed
into the detention facility in Kurdakhani.


On August 5 they have arrested Arif and
brought him to Kurdakhani detention facility. 
On August 7, he was taken to the Ministry of National Security's
detention place.  I have been dealing
with the political prisoners issue and am very well aware of tortures applied
by the MNS.


               I
perfectly understand the intention to physically destroy my family - Arif and
myself.  In 2005 right after the murder
of Elmar Huseynov, I was warned that my assassination is also planned. Of
course, I was afraid. Evidently, the decision to kill me was cancelled as we
made this information public .


But the bloody tyranny does not have any
limitations in 2014. I realize that Arif and I will be tortured brutally and to
death. ...


Dear supporters, talk about this, Speak
UP!


               Raise
your voice, make yourself heard. Let them hear and know what kind of bloody
tyranny is running Azerbaijan-the country chairing the Council of Europe.


Human Rights House Foundation: Emin
Huseynov can be arrested Baku /11.08.14 / Turan: The human rights activist Emin
Huseynov in Azerbaijan can be arrested at any time and is in urgent need of
protection, said on Saturday the international human rights organization Human
Rights House Foundation.  Aug. 8 the
court ordered Emin Huseynov to visit the prosecutor's office, so the human
rights activist can be arrested at any time and is in urgent need of
protection, emphasized the Human Rights House Foundation.


The Foundation urged the international
community to "urgently respond to the rapidly deteriorating situation in
Azerbaijan."


"We know that the charges against
human rights activists are politically motivated.  Authorities want to silence those who are
holding the country in the field of international obligations and commitments,
particularly in the framework of the Council of Europe," said the
executive director of the Human Rights House, Maria Dahle.  "The absence of effective action by the
international community can lead to the fact that the repression of the
independent human rights community in the country will continue for several
weeks. The Council of Europe and its members shouold not accept this punishment
in silence," the statement of Maria Dahle says.


During the search, August 8 at the IRFS
office all the electronic media, surveying equipment and documentation were
seized.  The fate of the IRFS Director
remains unknown.
