PACE Bureau not considering issue of political prisoners in Azerbaijan

In particular, it was planned to consider document No 11486 on Studying the state of political prisoners in Azerbaijan, worked out by Cyprus deputy Cristos Purgurudes.

Yet the issue has not been included into the agenda of the session.

Head of Azerbaijani delegation in PACE Samed Seidov announced that the issue will never be discussed: "The said issue will never be discussed, as this work is carried out by the Monitoring Committee. Any document can be submitted to the Bureau. But is it necessary to discuss all of them? The Bureau received only one document on Azerbaijan, which has not been discussed.

The Bureau adopted another decision on Azerbaijan-activity of the subcommittee on Nagorno Garabagh has been prolonged for another 1 year".
