\n A leading representative of the OSCE\u2019s Parliamentary Assembly is voicing concern about the fairness of Azerbaijan\u2019s upcoming parliamentary elections on November 1.<\/p>\n

In a
\n
\n statement
\n <\/a>
\n issued October 27, Isabel Santos, the Portuguese head of the assembly\u2019s Democracy and Human Rights Committee, cautioned that an
\n
\n ongoing Azerbaijani government crackdown on basic freedoms
\n <\/a>
\n is having a \u201cparticularly damaging effect\u201d on the country\u2019s electoral process.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the eve of parliamentary elections, when independent voices are crucial for having an informed debate about the country\u2019s direction, Azerbaijani citizens will especially suffer from the silence their government has imposed,\u201d Santos was quoted as saying in the OSCE PA statement.<\/p>\n

Santos also lamented the fact that prominent critics of President Ilham Aliyev\u2019s administration are now behind bars, including investigative journalist
\n
\n Khadija Ismayilova
\n <\/a>
\n , rights activists Intigam Aliyev and Leyla Yunus, and opposition leader
\n
\n Ilgar Mammadov
\n <\/a>
\n . Watchdog groups contend that they were all jailed on politically motivated charges. Officials in Baku deny the country has any political prisoners.<\/p>\n

The OSCE PA recently
\n
\n announced
\n <\/a>
\n that it would not send an observer mission to Baku for the parliamentary elections after the OSCE\u2019s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights cancelled its election-observation mission, citing restrictions imposed by Azerbaijani authorities.<\/p>\n

Santos\u2019 statement called on the Azerbaijani government \u201cto abide by its election-monitoring commitments and allow the Organization to conduct full, unrestricted missions.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
