- Leyla_Yunus abstract "Leyla Islam qizi Yunusova (born 21 December 1955, Baku), better known as Leyla Yunus, is an Azerbaijani human rights activist who serves as the director of Institute of Peace and Democracy, a human rights organisation. She is particularly known for her work opposing forced evictions in Baku, against which she organized several small protests.In period of active war operations in Nagorno-Karabakh in 1992-1993, she had been a chief of Information Analytical Centre of Ministry of Defence and Vice-Minister of Defence. However, that did not prevent her from working with civil society activists in both Azerbaijan and Armenia to call for peace. Yunus, along with her husband Arif, are known for actively pursuing reconciliation with Armenia.In 1995, she became a director of the Institute of Peace and DemocracyIn 2009, Yunus was tried for libel after she stated that there was police misconduct in a recent kidnapping trial, alleging that police had been involved in further trafficking the two young girls involved. Interior Minister Ramil Usubov filed suit against her, stating that she had "caused danger to police power". He demanded 100,000 manat in damages. Human Rights Watch protested the trial, stating that "a judgment against Yunus would set a terrible precedent for freedom of expression in Azerbaijan", while other international groups described the case as "one more example of the Azerbaijani government cracking down on free expression".After a number of failed appeals to authorities regarding police behavior during evictions, in 2011, she stated her intention to appeal the evictions to the European Court of Human Rights. Authorities bulldozed Yunus' Baku office with only a few minutes' warning on 11 August 2011, the same day an article appeared in the New York Times in which she criticized forced evictions. She was in Norway on the day of the demolition. European Union representatives "deplored" the demolition, calling her organization "a regular partner of the international community". Azerbaijani Member of Parliament Khadi Musa Redzhabli denied that the bulldozing had been connected with Yunus' human rights work. Fifty-two human rights organisations from 14 countries, including Index on Censorship and the Rafto Foundation, sent a joint letter of concern to the Azerbaijani authorities condemning the demolition.On 28 April 2014, Yunus and her husband Arif were detained at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport on their way to Doha, Qatar for allegedly spying for Armenia.".
