1,000 days in a Baku prison cell. For the "crime" of being elected.

On 29 June, 19 Armenian hostages will mark 1,000 days in Azerbaijani detention. Among them: democratically elected leaders of the Republic of Artsakh, seized after Azerbaijan's 2023 military assault drove more than 100,000 Armenians from their ancestral homeland.

1,000 days in a Baku prison cell. For the "crime" of being elected.

On 29 June, 19 Armenian hostages will mark 1,000 days in Azerbaijani detention. Among them: democratically elected leaders of the Republic of Artsakh, seized after Azerbaijan's 2023 military assault drove more than 100,000 Armenians from their ancestral homeland.

Their trials were a sham, closed courtrooms, state-appointed lawyers, verdicts condemned by every major human rights organisation that examined them. Their sentences run to life imprisonment.

Behind bars, they face abuse, untreated medical conditions, and near-total isolation. Azerbaijan has even expelled the Red Cross, the last independent witnesses.

The European Parliament has demanded their immediate release. Australia has said nothing.

That silence ends with us. Email your MP now and demand Australia join its allies in calling for the hostages' immediate and unconditional release.

It takes 60 seconds. They've waited 1,000 days.
