Prize laureate Mehman Huseynov abducted and illegally imprisoned
On Monday, 9 January 2017, photo and video journalist Mehman Huseynov was kidnapped on the streets of Baku and held by Azerbaijani authorities for 19 hours. During those hours, he was harshly beaten, forced to sign documents and then drugged. This report comes from the Azerbaijani human rights organisation, the Institute for Reporters’ Freedom and Safety (IRFS). IRFS strives to improve conditions for free and independent journalism in Azerbaijan. They vehemently condemn the violent acts against Huseynov, who has been chair of the organisation’s Board since 2016.
