Anar Mammadli Campaign writes to UNFCCC boss ahead of COP29
On the occasion of Anar Mammadli’s birthday today, the Anar Mammadli Campaign to end repression in Azerbaijan wrote a letter to Mr Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, who is in charge of securing that the conference of the parties to the convention takes place in an orderly manner.
In our letter (download, PDF), we ask that UN Climate Change uses every opportunity to underline the need for #Azerbaijan to facilitate and protect public dialogue and to release Anar Mammadli and others whose arrests are politically motivated due to their involvement in the public arena in view of COP29.
We further ask that the UN Climate Change boss at the occasion of his next visit to Azerbaijan ahead of COP29, visits Anar Mammadli in prison.
The climate of repression is warming up ahead of COP29: UN Climate Change should put in place a mechanism securing space for a diverse participation of national civil society, including non-registered organisations. To date, it has only involved media and organisations controled by #Azerbaijan’s government.
Finally, as asked for by Amnesty International already, UN Climate Change should publish the COP29 Host Country Agreement with no further delay.
