We congratulate everybody on Victory day. (09-MAY-05)
Victory day
We congratulate everybody on Victory day.
We congratulate and thank all our veterans for this great Victory.
We thank every body who helped to bring this Victory:
those who fought with allied forces,
those in occupied territory who fought in the Resistance Fronts,
those who gave them selves as voluntiers.
We grieve for everyone who perished on the battel fields, in the camps,
and the common people who perished in their homes during the war.
At the 56th UN Human Rights Council, Human Rights House Foundation (HRHF) worked alongside civil society partners to highlight the situation for human rights in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and the Balkans.
On the sidelines of the 56th session of the UN Human Rights Council, Human Rights House Foundation underlined several concerns related to freedom of expression in Serbia including Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs), the misuse of the Law on the Prevention of Money-Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism to target civil society organisations, and inadequate protection mechanisms for journalists and the persistent impunity for crimes against them.
On the sidelines of the 56th session of the UN Human Rights Council, Human Rights House Foundation argued that Anar Mammadli’s detention should be understood as a direct reprisal for his legitimate election observation efforts and human rights work, and comes in the context of a dramatic deterioration in the human rights situation in Azerbaijan.
