This petition urges Baku embassies and human rights NGOs to allow observers to attend the show trials orchestrated in Baku against the former leaders of Nagorno-Karabakh and other Armenian hostages interned in Azerbaijan. Everyone can "take action" then recei by sending a letter requesting observers: to dozens of embassies in Baku to dozens of human rights NGOs around the world. Please sign and share this petition widely. Coalition FreeArmenianHostages, Armor and Libertas
