The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe affirms that the Azerbaijani authorities refuse to resolve the problem of political prisoners, Turan reported. This is stated in the report of the PACE Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights.

“The only exceptions are the inexcusably late quashing of the convictions of Mr Ilgar Mammadov and Mr Rasul Jafarov […] and the late submission of partial information to the Committee of Ministers in the context of its supervision of relevant judgments of the European Court of Human Rights,” the report said.
