Reporters - Azerbaijan, The Baku Connection: "They will not stop our investigations by arresting us one by one". As the February 7 presidential election approaches, repression has increased in Azerbaijan.
Alongside a consortium of French and international media, RFI and France 24 are continuing the investigations of imprisoned journalists into corruption within the Azerbaijani authorities. In November 2023, several journalists and a member of the administrative team of the investigative online media Abzas, specializing in human rights in Azerbaijan, were arrested by the country's authorities.
