Political prisoners in Azerbaijan

Some people in Azerbaijan believe certain things should change in their country, like having more freedom to speak their mind and make their own choices. The government doesn't like this and doesn't want anyone to criticize them or their ideas.

Because of this, some people who speak up or protest against the government are arrested and thrown into jail. These people are called political prisoners because they are in jail for their political beliefs.

Even if they have not done anything wrong or against the law, they are still arrested and placed in jail just because they spoke up against the government. Being a political prisoner is not fair and is a violation of human rights.

Everyone should have the right to speak their mind and express their beliefs without fear of being thrown into jail. It is important to fight for these people's rights and help them regain their freedom.
