Statement of the Council for development of institutions of civil society and human rights with the President of the Russian Federation in connection with a hunger strike of protest against the results of municipal election in Astrakhan

Neither moral or legal principles nor reasons of political expedience allow anyone to ignore reports of mass violations of the citizens’ electoral rights which forced the people to resort to such an extreme measure of nonviolent resistance to protect their legal interests as a hunger strike.

Statement on the Closing of the Human Rights House Azerbaijan
On 10 March 2011, the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Azerbaijan ordered the Human Rights House Azerbaijan, partner of the international Human Rights House Network, to cease all activities immediately. According to the Ministry of Justice, in the future the Human Rights House Azerbaijan will be allowed to carry out activities only upon prior agreement with the State. The Human Rights House Network believes this measure is part of the escalated repression of the civil society in the last few weeks, in connection with the calls for pro-democracy demonstrations in March 2011.
