Republic of Azerbaijan
Your Excellency
PEN Guatemala
expresses concern at the continued pre-trial detention of investigative journalist, Khajida Ismayilova,
and the charges against her, which PEN believes are politically-motivated;
We call on the Azerbaijani
authorities to release her immediately and unconditionally and to drop all charges against her;
Finally,
we call on Azerbaijan
to comply with its obligations under Article 10 of the European
Convention on Human Rights and Article 19 of the International Covenant
on Civil and Political Rights (to which Azerbaijan is a state party) to
protect the right to freedom of expression and cease
its campaign of intimidation directed at opposition or critical voices.
