Mr President, Rafiq Tagi was a journalist and writer in Azerbaijan and criticised the Iranian Government and religious oppression in Azerbaijan. The journalist already received death threats in 2007 when an Iranian fatwa was issued, calling for his murder. On 23 November this year Rafiq Tagi was killed. Iranians or local Islamic extremists are suspected of being responsible for this killing. The Azerbaijani authorities are investigating this crime. The investigations must be conducted in a rapid, efficient and impartial manner, and the criminals and those who called for Tagi to be killed must be identified and convicted.
It is the duty of the Iranian authorities to cooperate during the investigation by providing hard information and evidence. The Iranian authorities must also urgently ban Iranian clerics from publicly calling for people to be killed. The outcome and, therefore, the responsibility for this investigation are largely connected with Iran.
I call on the Azerbaijani authorities to do everything in their power to protect the lives and safety of those living in Azerbaijan who have had a fatwa issued against them, in other words, a call for them to be killed."@en1
