  1. PEN concerned about reprisals against Sahib Teymurov’s family members
    PEN International and PEN Canada are concerned about reprisals by the Azerbaijani authorities against the relatives of Sahib Teymurov.

    “We call on the authorities of Azerbaijan to release Tahir Teymurov immediately. We believe he is suffering reprisals from the authorities because they are concerned by Sahib Teymurov’s criticism of the government and are not able to act against him. Sahib Teymurov has only exercised his right to peaceful expression”, said Salil Tripathi, chairperson of PEN International’s Writers in Prison Committee. “In addition, there must be a swift and effective investigation into Tahir Teymurov’s disappearance, as well as the allegations of torture or ill-treatment during this time.”
