Azerbaijan: Sport for Rights coalition condemns sentencing of journalist Khadija Ismayilova

The Sport for Rights coalition strongly condemns the sentencing of Azerbaijani journalist Khadija Ismayilova to a staggering 7.5 years in jail. On 1 September, the Baku Court of Grave Crimes convicted Ismayilova on charges of embezzlement, illegal entrepreneurship, tax evasion, and abuse of office. Ismayilova was acquitted of the charge of inciting someone to attempt suicide. Sport for Rights considers the charges against Ismayilova to be politically motivated and connected to her work as an investigative journalist, particularly her exposure of corruption among the ruling Azerbaijani elite.

“We condemn today’s verdict in the case of Khadija Ismayilova, which puts an outrageous yet expected ending to the grotesque proceedings against her”, CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. “The time for business as usual with Azerbaijan is over. We call on Baku’s counterparts in the international community to make no further dealings with this highly repressive state until Ismayilova is unconditionally released and fully acquitted of all fabricated accusations”.

“Khadija Ismayilova’s trial failed to meet minimum fair trial guarantees, a pattern that has been regularly observed by IPHR’s monitors in similar cases in Azerbaijan”, said Brigitte Dufour, IPHR Director. “The defence’s motions are routinely rejected, which runs contrary to the principle of equality of arms – a cornerstone of the right to a fair trial – and indicates that the judges in these trials are openly siding with the prosecution”.

One of Azerbaijan’s most prominent investigative journalists, Ismayilova is also among the most courageous, one of very few willing to report on risky topics such as human rights violations and corruption. In the months leading to her arrest in December 2014, Ismayilova was aware she could be targeted, which she linked to her investigations into the business interests of President Ilham Aliyev’s family. Despite being warned not to return to the country from trips abroad – during which she spoke at international organisations on abuses taking place in Azerbaijan – Ismayilova persisted, speaking out critically until her arrest, and even afterwards, in letters smuggled out from jail.

Sport for Rights believes that in jailing Ismayilova, the Azerbaijani authorities sought to silence her critical voice before the country faced increased international media attention during the inaugural European Games, which took place in Baku in June 2015. Sport for Rights has referred to Ismayilova as a “Prisoner of the European Games” – along with human rights defenders Leyla and Arif Yunus, Rasul Jafarov, and Intigam Aliyev, who were also arrested in the run-up to the games.

“For her thorough and fearless investigative journalism, which has uncovered corruption at the highest levels of power, Khadija has earned numerous accolades, including PEN American’s 2015 Barbara Goldsmith/Freedom to Write Award”, said Karin Deutsch Karlekar, director of Free Expression programmes at PEN American Center. “However, speaking the truth has grave consequences in Azerbaijan, where independent reporting has been all but extinguished through farcical trials, imprisonment, murder, and other forms of severe harassment. We demand that the government cease this unprecedented witch-hunt against journalists and their family members, and enable Azerbaijani citizens to freely access a range of news and information”.

The harsh sentencing of Ismayilova is the latest incident in an unprecedented crackdown being carried out by the Azerbaijani authorities to silence all forms of criticism and dissent. Less than two weeks before Ismayilova’s verdict, the same court sentenced human rights defenders Leyla and Arif Yunus to 8.5 and seven years in jail, respectively. Authorities have so far disregarded the widespread calls for humanitarian release of the couple, who both suffer serious health problems that continue to worsen in custody. Human rights defenders Intigam Aliyev, Rasul Jafarov, and Anar Mammadli are also serving staggering sentences of 7.5 years, six years and three months (recently reduced from 6.5 years by the appellate court), and 5.5 years, respectively, all on politically motivated charges.

The situation for journalists is also dire. On 9 August, journalist and chairman of the Institute for Reporters’ Freedom and Safety Rasim Aliyev died in hospital after being severely beaten the previous day. Aliyev had reported receiving threats in the weeks leading to the attack, and the police failed to provide him with protection. This attack followed an earlier high-level threat against an Azerbaijani journalist, Berlin-based Meydan TV Director Emin Milli, in connection with his critical reporting on the European Games. In addition to Ismayilova, journalists Nijat Aliyev, Araz Guliyev, Parviz Hashimli, Seymur Hezi, Hilal Mammadov, Rauf Mirkadirov, and Tofig Yagublu are also behind bars on politically motivated charges.

The Sport for Rights coalition reiterates its call for Ismayilova’s immediate and unconditional release, as well as the release of the other jailed journalists and human rights defenders in Azerbaijan. The coalition also calls for the Azerbaijani government to take immediate and concrete steps to improve the broader human rights situation in the country, particularly in the context of the upcoming November parliamentary elections. Without independent media coverage, including critical voices such as Ismayilova’s, the elections cannot be considered free and fair. Finally, Sport for Rights calls for greater vigilance by the international community to developments in the country, and increased efforts to hold the Azerbaijani government accountable to its international human rights obligations.

Azerbaijan: Sport for Rights coalition condemns sentencing of journalist Khadija Ismayilova

Коалиция «Спорт за права» решительно осуждает ошеломляющий приговор азербайджанской журналистке Хадидже Исмайловой, осужденной на 7,5 лет лишения свободы. 1 сентября Бакинский суд по тяжким преступлениям признал Исмайлову виновной по обвинениям в присвоении средств, незаконном предпринимательстве, уклонении от уплаты налогов и злоупотреблении должностными полномочиями. По обвинению в доведении человека до самоубийства Исмайлову оправдали. Коалиция «Спорт за права» считает, что обвинения против Исмайловой политически мотивированы и связаны с ее журналистскими расследованиями, в частности с разоблачениями коррупции среди правящей азербайджанской элиты.

“Мы осуждаем сегодняшний возмутительный, хотя и предсказуемый вердикт, которым завершился абсурдный процесс по делу Хадиджи Исмайловой, – сказала координатор Программы Европы и Центральной Азии Комитета по защите журналистов Нина Огнянова . – С Азербайджаном больше нельзя вести дела, как раньше. Мы призываем партнеров Баку среди международного сообщества не вступать с этим крайне репрессивным государством ни в какие дальнейшие отношения до тех пор, пока Исмайлова не будет выпущена на свободу без каких-либо дополнительных условий и полностью оправдана по всем сфабрикованным обвинениям»”.

“Судебный процесс над Хадиджой Исмайловой происходил с нарушениями даже минимальных стандартов справедливого разбирательства, причем аналогичную ситуацию наблюдатели от Международного партнерства по правам человека регулярно наблюдают в Азербайджане в контексте других похожих дел, – сказала директор Международного партнерства по правам человека Брижитт Дюфор. – Ходатайства защиты постоянно отклоняются, что противоречит принципу равноправия сторон, который лежит в основе права на справедливый суд, и показывает, что судьи в таких процессах открыто встают на сторону обвинения”

Одна из известнейших в Азербайджане журналистов, ведущих собственные расследования, Исмайлова входит в число самых смелых репортеров – тех очень немногих, кто готов браться за рискованные темы, такие как нарушения прав человека и коррупция. Еще за несколько месяцев до своего ареста в декабре 2014 года Исмайлова уже осознавала, что может стать объектом преследования, и связывала это со своими расследованиями бизнес-интересов семьи президента Ильхама Алиева. Несмотря на предостережения не возвращаться на родину из зарубежных поездок, в ходе которых она информировала международные организации о нарушениях, совершаемых в Азербайджане, Исмайлова не сдавалась и продолжала выступать с открытой критикой вплоть до самого своего ареста и даже после него в письмах, которые она тайком передавала из тюрьмы.

По мнению коалиции «Спорт за права», поместив Исмайлову за решетку, власти Азербайджана попытались тем самым заткнуть ей рот накануне проведения в Баку первых Европейских игр в июне 2012 года, когда страна должна была стать объектом повышенного внимания международных СМИ. Коалиция «Спорт за права» назвала Исмайлову «узницей Европейских игр» наряду с правозащитниками Лейлой и Арифом Юнусами, Расулом Джафаровым и Интигамом Алиевым, которые тоже были арестованы в преддверии игр.

“За свой тщательный и бесстрашный подход к проведению журналистских расследований коррупции в высших эшелонах власти Хадиджа была удостоена множества наград, в том числе премии имени Барбары Голдсмит «За свободу слова» Американского ПЕН-клуба за 2015 год, – сказала Карин Дойч Карлекар, директор программ Американского ПЕН-клуба в области свободы выражения мнений. – Однако публикация правды может повлечь за собой тяжелые последствия в Азербайджане, где независимая журналистика почти полностью истреблена с помощью фарсовых судебных процессов, лишения свободы, убийств и других форм жесткого притеснения. Мы требуем от властей прекратить эту беспрецедентную охоту на ведьм, развязанную в отношении журналистов и членов их семей, чтобы граждане Азербайджана получили свободный доступ к самым разным новостям и информации”.

Суровый приговор Исмайловой – самый свежий эпизод в серии беспрецедентных репрессий, развернутых властями Азербайджана с целью подавления всех форм критики и несогласия. Менее чем за две недели до вынесения приговора Исмайловой тот же суд приговорил правозащитников Лейлу и Арифа Юнусов к 8,5 и 7 годам заключения соответственно. До сих пор власти игнорировали повсеместно звучащие призывы освободить супругов из гуманитарных соображений, поскольку у них обоих серьезные проблемы со здоровьем и в тюрьме их состояние продолжает ухудшаться. По политически мотивированным обвинениям также были осуждены на неоправданно длительные сроки правозащитники Интигам Алиев – 7,5 лет лишения свободы, Расул Джафаров – 6 лет и 3 месяца (таким образом апелляционный суд недавно сократил ему изначальный срок в 6,5 лет) и Анар Мамедли (5,5 лет).

Ужасающей остается и ситуация с журналистами. Так, 9 августа журналист и председатель Института свободы и безопасности репортеров Расим Алиев скончался в больнице от тяжелых побоев, нанесенных ему днем ранее. В течение несколько недель до нападения Алиев сообщал о поступавших ему угрозах, но полиция ничего не предприняла для его защиты. Незадолго до этого нападения от одного высокопоставленного должностного лица поступали угрозы в адрес другого азербайджанского журналиста – директора Meydan TV Эмина Милли, проживающего в Берлине, в связи с критическим освещением Европейских игр. Помимо Исмайловой, по политически мотивированным обвинениям лишены свободы такие журналисты, как Ниджат Алиев, Араз Гулиев, Парвиз Хашимли, Сеймур Хази, Хилал Мамедов, Рауф Миркадыров и Тофик Ягублу.

Коалиция «Спорт за права» повторно призывает незамедлительно и безоговорочно освободить Хадиджу Исмайлову, а также других азербайджанских журналистов и правозащитников, оказавшихся за решеткой. Коалиция также призывает власти Азербайджана срочно предпринять конкретные шаги по улучшению ситуации с правами человека в стране в целом, особенно в контексте предстоящих в ноябре парламентских выборов. Без независимого освещения в СМИ, в том числе без критических оценок, какие давала, например, Исмайлова, выборы не могут считаться свободными и честными. И наконец, коалиция «Спорт за права» обращается к международному сообществу с просьбой более бдительно следить за событиями в Азербайджане и настойчивее требовать от руководства страны соблюдения ее международных обязательств по защите прав человека.

Energoatom lawsuit against Ukrainian activists is the latest attempt to stifle public debate over an ageing nuclear energy fleet

A Kiev court held yesterday the first hearing in a case brought by Energoatom, Ukraine’s state-owned nuclear power plants operator, against the National Ecological Centre of Ukraine (NECU), a civil society group, member of the CEE Bankwatch Network.

Energoatom accuses the activists of supposedly spreading false information on those of Ukraine’s nuclear reactors operating beyond their design lifetime.

Energoatom refers to NECU’s press release from May 15, 2015, which reported that unit 2 in the South Ukraine nuclear power plant is not in compliance with the requirements to safely operate in electricity production mode. The group also warned in that press release, that decisions taken by Ukrainian authorities regarding nuclear units’ operation beyond their design lifetime lack crucial substantiation. In its lawsuit, Energoatom asked the court to order NECU to publish a statement on its website saying some of the information in the original press release was false.

Ukraine’s nuclear lifetime extensions

More background & updates

In April, two weeks before this 30 years old nuclear reactor reached the end of its design lifetime, the board of Ukraine’s nuclear energy regulator SNRIU acknowledged the unit has 41 deviations from safety standards. Consequently, the nuclear unit was not granted a permission to continue operation and it has been shut down since. Its restart, the board ruled, would only be considered once all required measures and safety upgrades are completed.

“This lawsuit was filed simply because we dared to openly call things what they are in reality,” says Iryna Holovko, NECU and CEE Bankwatch Network campaigner in Ukraine. “Nuclear units with compromised safety can not be considered safe and citizens, in Ukraine and in neighbouring countries, must be aware of that. We believe our moral obligation is to inform public of the situation as it is.”

Ukrainian environmental NGOs – including Ecoclub-Rivne, NECU and others – have been campaigning since more than five years for of the public’s right to be fully informed and engaged in the decision-making process regarding the prolonged operation of nuclear units beyond their design expiration date. This year civil society groups in five EU countries have joined the campaign to demand citizens in Ukraine’s neighbourhood are fully informed about the potential transboundary implications of these plans and have a say in the process.

In fact, the EU is actively involved in the revival of Ukraine’s nuclear energy. Energoatom enjoys generous financial support from Euratom and from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to implement safety upgrades in its nuclear units, which are in turn used for legitimising a postponed expiry date. Yet, it has been continuously ignoring Ukraine’s legal obligations under the Aarhus and Espoo Conventions for transboundary consultations, which are also conditions to these European loans.

In July this year 25 Members of the European Parliament have signed a letter to Euratom and the EBRD asking they suspend their loans for Ukraine’s safety upgrade programme until the country complies with the relevant international legal obligations.

“If Energoatom is concerned about its reputation it would be wiser to directly engage with the public on its plans and their long term implications rather than trying to stifle civil society critique,” says Holovko.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled for September 28, 2015.

European funding for a Lukoil gas project in Azerbaijan tramples the EU’s commitment to both climate action and human rights

A USD 500 million loan for the share of Russian gas giant Lukoil in a major gas project in Azerbaijan has been approved yesterday by the Board of Directors of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Yet, the decision will significantly hinder Europe’s commitments to decarbonise as well as to advance democracy.

Developed by a consortium of carbon majors led by BP, the Shah Deniz stage II gas field is essentially the cornerstone for the Southern Gas Corridor, the European Commission’s flagship energy project, promoted as means to alleviate Europe’s reliance on Russian gas imports.

Yet, the EBRD’s decision to support the Shah Deniz project stands in stark contrast to its own statutes. Article 1 in the agreement establishing the EBRD states: “Under the EBRD Agreement, the parties must be committed to human rights, multi-party democracy, rule of law and pluralism.” But the authoritarian Aliyev regime, thriving on Azerbaijan’s gas and oil riches, has been systematically cracking down on civil society and human rights defenders. In fact, with 80 political prisoners – among them investigative journalist Khadija Ismayilova and prominent human rights lawyer Rasul Jafarov – Azerbaijan now has more activists behind bars than Russia and Belarus together.

Moreover, with the UN’s decisive Paris climate summit just months away, entrenching the role of fossil fuels in Europe’s energy mix only hampers the EU’s efforts to combat climate change. Multiple studies have shown that the world must leave most of the remaining fossil fuels in the ground if it is to avoid the harshest of climate change impacts, and a recent report from Carbon Tracker warned that gas investments are at risk of becoming stranded assets.

With EU gas consumption on the decrease, and likely to continue falling over the next few decades, as the European Commission’s own Energy Roadmap 2050 projects, the Southern Gas Corridor can end up as a massive stranded asset on investors’ sheets.

“The EBRD’s decision yesterday is a shameful blemish on the EU’s efforts to promote human rights, climate action and sustainable development,” says Fidanka Bacheva-McGrath CEE Bankwatch’s EBRD Campaign Co-ordinator.

On Monday, the Sports for Rights coalition, CEE Bankwatch Network and 15 other NGOs have sent letters to country Directors and EBRD President Suma Chakrabati calling on them not to lend public money to a project that so blatantly contravenes the Bank’s own mandate.

“Any loan to Lukoil to develop Shah Deniz II will squeeze the space for civil society even further as it bolsters the current regime,” the letter said. “A substantial improvement in the respect of basic rights and freedoms should be achieved before you consider lending to Azerbaijan’s oil and gas sector”.

MEPs challenge EU financial support for Ukraine’s Soviet-era nuclear fleet

Twenty-five Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have signed a letter today urging the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and Euratom to suspend their financial support for Ukraine’s ageing nuclear reactors until the potential environmental impacts of their prolonged operation in Ukraine and on neighbouring countries are fully assessed.

The letter is available on the Bankwatch website.

Three of Ukraine’s 15 nuclear energy units are already operating beyond their design lifetime, and nine others are expected to be given similar permissions by the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate by 2020.

A Safety Upgrade Programme, necessary to enable lifetime extensions for these units, is partially financed by loans from the EBRD and Euratom totalling EUR 600 million.

Since a prolonged operation of nuclear energy units beyond their design lifetime could have dramatic consequences for people and the environment across the border, the Espoo Convention, to which Ukraine is a party, requires projects of this kind to have a transboundary Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

Meeting this legal obligation is also one of the conditions for the loans from Euratom and the EBRD. And yet, the Ukrainian government has so far refused to launch such assessment.

Meeting with campaigners from CEE Bankwatch Network and Nuclear Transparency Watch earlier today at the European Parliament, MEPs from across the political spectrum decided to join the call for freezing the loan proceedings until a proper transboundary EIA is carried out.

Addressed to Jyrki Katainen, the European Commission’s Vice President for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness in his position as the Governor of the EBRD as well as to the heads of the EBRD and Euratom, the MEPs’ letter warns, that “the prolonged operation of nuclear reactors implies an increased risk of a severe nuclear accident with potentially devastating impacts on the environment and the people in Ukraine and beyond.”

“Spending millions of EU tax payer’s money on keeping open high risk and out-of-date nuclear power stations in Ukraine is utter madness,” says MEP Dario Tamburrano. “Ukraine’s nuclear authority (SNRIU) has a record of ignoring safety risks and cannot be trusted. In 2013, the SNRIU extended the lifetime of a reactor in the South Ukraine Power Plant until 2023, despite independent studies showing that safety limits have been breached by up to 10 times the acceptable levels! With war still raging in Ukraine, the EU approach to extending the lifetime of nuclear power plants in the country is like having a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all European citizens.”

In April and May, following calls from Bankwatch campaigners, the governments of Slovakia, Romania, and Hungary have approached their counterparts in Ukraine with requests for information on the plans for prolonged operation of these nuclear units and for initiating public consultations in their countries.

“But Ukraine appears to be staunchly consistent on disregarding its international environmental obligations,” says Iryna Holovko, Bankwatch’s campaigner for Ukraine. “Two earlier cases, where lifetime extension permits had been granted to the Rivne 1 and Rivne 2 nuclear units, have already been found to be in breach of the Espoo Convention requirements. It is now high time for the EBRD and Euratom to help ensure this does not happen again. In fact, Ukrainians could certainly benefit from a proper and comprehensive EIA process, most of all because it would explore alternative, safer solutions.”

Romanian environmental inspectorate orders closure of two coal plants operating outside EU pollution laws

Last week the Environmental Inspectorate in Hunedoara, Romania demanded the closure of two thermal power plants at Mintia and Paroşeni, because neither of the units complies with air quality requirements of the EU’s Large Combustion Plants Directive (LCPD). Hunedoara Energy Complex, which manages the Mintia and Paroşeni plants, has challenged the decision in court.

After its permit expired [1] in 2010, the Paroşeni unit had received a loan of EUR 32.6 million from the European Investment Bank for the installation of a flue gas desulphurization system, [2] yet the plant has so far failed to install the upgrade. In addition to the EIB loan, Hunedoara Energy Complex received EUR 37.5 million in state aid [3] for the purchase of greenhouse gases emission allowances.

The Mintia plant has been operating without an IPPC permit for over a year, but because of shortfalls nearing EUR 80 million, Hunedoara Energy Complex [4] does not believe it can finance the upgrades.

The Environmental Inspectorate’s decision is not surprising in light of the plant’s track record with previous violations.[5]

Ionut Brigle, campaigner for Bankwatch Romania said: “Coal power plants are the largest source of pollution in Romania, so ensuring compliance with air pollution rules and monitoring emissions is imperative. Hunedoara must suspend activities until it brings its facilities up to par.”

Hunedoara Energy Complex consists of the two coal power plants, Mintia and Paroşeni, and four hard coal mines considered viable: Lonea, Livezeni, Lupeni and Vulcan. Although the state aid is intended “to save the company” – as described in the government authorization – the contradiction remains for the company, since most of its employees work in mining divisions, while much of the coal is being imported.[6]
