This #TakeActionTuesday, we stand in solidarity with Leyla and Arif Yunus, activists who are being held in detention in Azerbaijan. Leyla, a former nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, is being held alongside her husband for speaking out against the Azerbaijani government.

The arrests are part of a crackdown by government against civil society actors in the region. Join the call for the immediate release of Leyla and Arif here:
