Committee of Ministers of the 47-nation Council of Europe exhorts the Azerbaijani authorities to immediately restore the rights of human rights activists and government critics, as required by the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in the Mammadli group of cases against 
Azerbaijan. The Committee’s Interim Resolution (*) on this group was published following its latest meeting to supervise the execution of the ECHR judgments. The Committee of Ministers recalls that, in respect of each applicant in this group of cases, the European Court found a violation of Article 18 in conjunction with Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights, revealing “a troubling pattern of arbitrary arrest and detention of government critics, civil society activists and human-rights defenders through retaliatory prosecutions and misuse of criminal law in defiance of the rule of law”.
