Human Rights Developments Defending Human Rights The Role of the International Community Defending Human RightsOn April 29, the Ministry of Internal Affairs organized crime unit harassed and threatened Eldar Zeynalov, executive director of the Human Rights Center of Azerbaijan, during questioning related to his work. The Ministry of Justice arbitrarily refused to register nongovernmental organizations, including human rights organizations, lawyers associations and others. In April, parliament adopted a law governing grants to nongovernmental organizations. During parliamentary consideration the government failed to publish the draft law or otherwise make it available to the affected organizations, despite repeated requests to members of parliament and to the presidents office, thus carefully excluding the very organizations that the legislation affected from commenting on the law. |
