ArmInfo.Peter Michalko, EU Ambassador to Azerbaijan has posted the following message on his X account:
"I was appalled by the reports of denigrating treatment of some of the journalists recently arrested in Azerbaijan, particularly young women, handcuffed in courtroom, put in glass cages or not allowed basic human needs. Everybody has the right to be treated with dignity and respect."
Since the end of last year there have been mass arrests of opposition and independent journalists and activists in Azerbaijan.
