This issue of the CAD analyzes the situation of civil society in Azerbaijan today. Katy Pearce examines how the state initially ignored social media and then began to crack down on it when it realized the danger that it posed. Rebecca Vincent argues that 2014 was unprecedented in terms of the extent of the regime's crackdown on human rights. Arzu Geybullayeva argues that defenders of human rights are not doing enough to resist against the regime's crackdown and urges greater coordination to facilitate change.
