Call of Committee Against Repression and Torture of Azerbaijan to International Human Rights Organizations
The coordinator of the Committee against Repression and Torture of Azerbaijan, Ogtay Gyulalyev, needs your help. He was hit by a car on October 29, 2019, when he was returning from a Committee meeting, and fell into a coma from his injury. Unfortunately, due to untimely medical assistance, his state of health became critical, and he is in a serious situation.
Doctors at the American Hospital in Istanbul are fighting for his life. Qualified medical assistance is provided thanks to the financial support from the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, which has been allocating funds for treatment for more than a month. However, from December 10, the Fund suspends financing of the treatment in Turkey and offers to continue the treatment in Azerbaijan. We are not sure that in Azerbaijan this treatment can be effective. To continue qualified treatment, funds and advisory assistance from leading experts in the field of brain injury are needed.
Addressing you, we urge you to make your efforts to support the further treatment of Ogtay Gyulalyev and save his life.
We hope for your human rights solidarity.

In honor of the holy month of Ramadan, I appeal to you with a plea for help and justice. Nine years have passed since the actions of our enemies plunged our family into darkness, depriving us of happiness and peace. Today they are trying to deprive our brother and me of our last home. This egregious act not only violates the laws of our country, but also ignores the fundamental right to housing, a principle that is supported throughout the world. It is important to note that the property in question was acquired in the 1990s, long before my brother Jahangir Hajiyev took up his position at the International Bank of Azerbaijan.

Images circulated in local media showed Matraimov being hauled off a plane in handcuffs by masked agents with the State Committee for National Security, or GKNB.
