Human Rights House Azerbaijan was a vibrant platform and meeting space until it was forced to cease all its activities following an order of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Azerbaijan in 2011. Today, HRH Azerbaijan’s member organisations continue their activities and work toward re-opening of the House as a platform for human rights work.

Anar Mammadli, leader of Election Monitoring and Democracy Studies Center (one of HRH Azerbaijan’s member organisations) has been unjustly detained on spurious charges since 29 April 2024, in retaliation for his election observation and as a reprisal for his international advocacy work. HRHF calls for his release.
