Early day motion 688, tabled 6 November 2013 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 13 members.

That this House observes that the already dire situation of human rights abuses in Azerbaijan has deteriorated further in the past year; is appalled that the ten-month imprisonment on trumped-up charges of two opposition politicians continues; and calls on the Government to make representations on behalf of Ilgar Mammadov and Yeni Musavat, plus many others imprisoned for political reasons by the Aliyev regime.

Signatures by party: Labour 7, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, DUP 1.
