🚨URGENT: Journalist Aytaj Tapdig’s Health is Deteriorating in Detention We are urgently appealing for advocacy support for Aytaj Tapdig (Aytaj Ahmadova), a journalist for @MeydanTV , whose health is in serious decline while being held in a pre-trial detention facility in Azerbaijan. Aytaj’s health is worsening under horrific conditions. Breathing Difficulties: She suffers from a deviated nasal septum, a condition that has become unbearable due to her environment . Dependency on Medication: In just 20 months of detention, she has been forced to use 80 bottles of nasal spray, an extreme dependency to breathe . Deliberately Harsh Environment: The facility was built on a drained lake, leading to highly humid air that severely aggravates her breathing problems . Denied Medical Care: Despite requests from her lawyer and appeals to the prison’s chief physician, she has been told that the Ministry of Justice does not employ an ENT specialist, effectively depriving her of necessary medical treatment . Her formal requests for an examination have been ignored . The struggle is both personal and political. Political Prisoner: Aytaj is one of at least 24 journalists and media workers imprisoned in an unprecedented crackdown on independent media in Azerbaijan . The charges against her and her colleagues are widely considered politically motivated . International Concern: Her worsening situation has already prompted alarm from major organizations, including the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and Reporters Without Borders (RSF) , who have demanded she receive urgent medical care . For the first time, we can see exactly where she is being held. Using maps, we have confirmed the precise location of the building where she is being kept within the Baku Pretrial Detention Center No. 1. 📍 Location: She is held in a small building behind the main three-story octagonal detention block. The white area attached to the right side of the building is the outdoor exercise yard where she is taken every day. 📌 Google Maps Location: maps.app.goo.gl/oKfjQWfvNonW… Share this post and the location widely. Contact members of the European Parliament, PACE, and international human rights organizations, urging them to amplify this call for help. We sincerely hope for your support in this critical moment. @UN @UNHumanRights @UNGeneva @UN_Women @FreeAbzasMedia @elnaragasimova_ @ECPMF @AP @TheEconomist @nytimes @thetimes @ElchRights @DrAlakbarov @RukhshanaMedia @Anarmammadali @PhilipObaji @ICJ_org @accessnow @amnesty @politico_media @HRF @CommissionerHR @IHRF_English @EP_HumanRights
