Actions in support of Azerbaijan in Iran — support rallies for Azerbaijan, actions and demonstrations against Iran and Armenia by Iranian Azerbaijanis after the Battle of Tovuz and the Second Karabakh War in 2020.

Demonstrations were prevented in several cities. The security forces intervened in more than ten city, broke up the action and arrested its participants. The participants of the action showed their support for the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan and shouted slogans against Armenia and Iran. Hundreds of detained citizens included women, elderly and children. Many of them faced violence during their detention. Some of them were tortured and beaten when the demonstrations were broken up, while others were in prison. Sajjad Colani, who is visually impaired, was beaten and his nose was broken during his arrest. Fatma Ibrahimzade, detained in Tabriz, was interrogated and tortured in front of her 13-year-old daughter Kovsar Nemati. 74-year-old Parviz Siyabi, who was arrested in Ardabil, was beaten in prison. Most of the participants of the action were also subjected to flogging. According to human rights defenders Jala Tabrizli and Sahin Khiyavli, the purpose of the courts in imposing this punishment was to humiliate the honor of national activists.

In October, Amnesty International expressed concern over the large-scale arrest of Azerbaijani national activists in various cities in Iran and demanded their unconditional release. A group of Iranian Azerbaijanis feminists issued a statement about the Karabakh conflict and demanded the implementation of UN resolutions and an end to the occupation in order to ensure peace. 100 Azerbaijani cinematographers living in Iran condemned Armenia's military aggression against Azerbaijan and issued a statement of support for the liberation of Karabakh. 669 Azerbaijani poets, writers and scientists living in Iran made a statement in support of Azerbaijan under the organization of South Azerbaijan Union of Poets and Writers. The Azerbaijan Student Movement also issued a statement of support for Azerbaijan. The statement of the Student Movement was signed by various student organizations, magazines and associations established by Iranian Azerbaijanis operating in universities located in cities such as Tabriz, Hamadan, Urmia, Gilan, Zanjan, Ardabil, and Tehran.

On October 14, 2021, human rights defenders living in the Republic of Azerbaijan appealed to the UN Human Rights Committee , Amnesty International and Iran regarding the arrest of Iranian Azerbaijanis activists. They strongly condemned the use of physical force, torture, and inhumane treatment by security forces, denouncing their arrest as a violation of human rights, and called for their immediate release.

History

[edit]

Both during the First Karabakh War and during the occupation of Karabakh, there were protests against Iran's assistance to Armenia[citation needed] and the Republic of Artsakh in Karabakh.[1][2] These protests were made at various times by Azerbaijani citizens, at the state level or by world Azerbaijanis as well as Iranian Azerbaijanis.[3] In addition, the events that took place in Azerbaijan at different times were supported by the Iranians Azerbaijanis. Often these support actions were broken up, and those who took part in them were either arrested, tortured or persecuted.[4][5]

Abbas Lisani

In the following years, the Karabakh issue remained a constant topic of concern in the regions where Iranians Azerbaijanis reside. In June 2004, Armenian state officials visited Ardabil to discuss and promote economic cooperation.[6] However, when it was revealed that the Armenian delegation included representatives from the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, the local population protested.[6] When these protests failed to achieve their goal, demonstrators gathered in Ardabil's Sarchesme  Mosque.[6] Security forces stormed the mosque, beating and arresting those inside.[7] Among them was national cultural activist Abbas Lisani, who was brutally beaten until he lost consciousness.[7][8] The assault left him with broken ribs, a fractured nose, and damage to his lungs and kidneys.[7][8] He was arrested and held in solitary confinement at an undisclosed location for two days[9][10] before being transferred to the 7th department of the Ardabil Revolutionary Court, where his detention was extended by another month.[11][12] Lisani remained in solitary confinement in Ardabil prison, and despite repeatedly requesting medical treatment and going on a hunger strike to demand it, his request was not granted.[7]

On July 22, 2004, he was released on bail set at 200 million rials.[7] Later, he was fined 800,000 rials and sentenced to 15 lashes for "disturbing public order.[7][8]

In April 2020, video footage taken in Khankendi, which was occupied by the Armenian Armed Forces, caused protests in Azerbaijan.[42] In these images, Armenian activists protested their arrival in Khankendi by filming Iranian fuel trucks.[43] They said that the so-called regime buys cheap and low-quality fuel from Iran. After that, Azerbaijan demanded an official investigation from Iran, but Iran rejected these claims.[44]

[edit]

After the Tovuz battles that started on July 12, 2020, Azerbaijanis living in Iran called for support actions for Azerbaijan in the cities of Tabriz, Urmia, Ardabil, Zanjan, Sulduz and Tehran.[68][69] Before the day of the action, Iranian security forces called and threatened some national activists in these cities and demanded that they refuse to participate in the rally.[70] The citizens who participated in the rally and gathered in the predetermined places were subjected to a very harsh reaction and were beaten, and the march was not allowed.[70][71] Despite this, actions took place in several cities.[72]

On July 16, a demonstration in support of Azerbaijan was held by local residents in front of the Azerbaijani consulate in Tabriz.[70][73][74] The participants condemned Armenia's occupation policies, chanting slogans such as "Long live Azerbaijan, let those who oppose it be blind!" and "Karabakh is ours,[75] it will be ours!"

They restricted access to the central squares of cities such as Tabriz, Ardabil, and Urmia.[229] Special police officers have been concentrated in the city centers. After the news about liberation of Shusha, sweets were distributed to people on Khayyam and Imam streets, the central streets of Urmia. Tables with sweets and drinks are placed in front of the shops. In the evening, firecrackers were set off in Jangali Park located in Urmia, in Goshachay and in several cities on the occasion of the victory of Azerbaijan.[228] Celebrating the victory in the city of Maku, Azerbaijanis marched through the streets of the city.[228] In 2020, Firuz Akili and Babek Delkhuni were arrested and taken to an unknown location for celebrating the liberation of Karabakh in the city of Sarab.[230][231] Ali Huseynnejad Asli, a resident of Maku, distributed sweets to people in his hometown on the occasion of Shusha's release. On November 12, ETTELAAT officers raided his clothing store and arrested him.[232]

In November 2020, Ogtay Lisani, the son of Abbas Lisani , was accused of "disturbing public opinion" by the Ardabil Public Catering Facilities Control Department for distributing sweets on the occasion of the liberation of Shusha on November 9, and he was banned from continuing his work in the Ardabil bazaar.[233]

In the city of Tikantepe, an Azerbaijani holiday event was attacked by supervisors from the Public Catering Facilities Control Department. During this incident, 16-year-olds Amir Riza Moradi Pahlavan and Huseyin Sadri, along with 15-year-old Ali Sadri, were arrested. Later, security forces also arrested three national cultural activists—Majid Zahedpour, Saeb Nahavendi Tikantepe, and Abdullah Gulami—who had participated in the event. The reason for these arrests was the use of firecrackers and the chanting of national slogans celebrating Azerbaijan's victory in the war.[234] Those arrested were released after being interrogated for several hours, though they were threatened with re-arrest if they shared the video they had recorded of the celebration of Karabakh's independence.[234][235]

Journalist Parviz Yari noted that 242 Turkish activists were arrested during the protests and the year after.[236] In addition, 24 women were among those arrested.[236] Some women were detained with their children. Detained in Tabriz, Fatma Ibrahimzade was interrogated and tortured in front of her 13-year-old daughter Kovsar Nemati.[236]

Most of the participants of the action were also flogged. According to human rights defenders Jala Tabrizli and Sahin Khiyavli, the purpose of the courts in imposing this punishment is to humiliate the honor of national activists.[226][237]
