On Feb. 10, #wrongfullyimprisoned PhD student Bahruz Samadov in #Azerbaijan ended his hunger strike after finally being able to call his grandmother. While this is welcome news, the intl community must keep calling to #FreeBahruz and ensure his safety.

This is deeply disturbing news. Despite the state’s lack of evidence for charges of “high treason,” Bahruz will face 15 years in prison and serious health and safety risks. SAR urges the intl community to condemn the charges and work to #FreeBahruz now: www.scholarsatrisk.org/actions/bahr...

He is truly a very good guy & shouldn't be locked up. #Azerbaijan

L'ULB demande la libération de Bahruz Samadov, chercheur détenu et condamné à 15 ans de prison en #Azerbaidjan.
Son tort? Avoir exprimé un avis différent de celui des autorités concernant les relations avec l'Arménie.

"Samadov’s call to peace is a call to a different future, and it needs to be heard." #FreeBahruz
“Every period of history that saw repressions of scholars have remained in people’s memory as the dark past,”
said pro-peace Azerbaijani academician Bahruz Samadov yesterday at his first sham trial over ridiculous treason charges. He declared starting a hunger strike.

For this reason, on behalf of civil society, we demand that his detention must end forthwith.
