Khadija Ismayilova is an investigative reporter and talk show host with Radio Azalig – the Azeri language service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). Her investigative reports often look into corruption allegations and business holdings of high-level government.
The letter has been sent by recommended mail to the government officials on Monday 12 August 2013 and is attached (in English and Azerbaijani).
The government of Azerbaijan should take immediate steps to ensure a prompt, thorough, effective and transparent investigation into the threats made against her, as well as ensuring the effectiveness of the current investigation into the violation of her right to privacy.
