These days I feel like my brain is running under a heavy workload. I am not able to hold a conversation without scripting it first: like games where ending can change depending on your choices. My brain calculates every possible outcome and it is hard for me to function.

The most enjoyable moment for me is when I sit with someone and just keep silent. Like, I want to say a thousand things but in the end silence seems like the best choice.

2024. Die aserbaidschanische Journalistin Ulviyya (Ali) Guliyeva erklärt mir mit welcher Masche Journalisten hier verhaftet werden: Ihnen wird Geld untergeschoben, sie stehen dann wegen "Bargeldschmuggel" vor Gericht. 2025. Guliyeva wird selbst verhaftet. In ihrer Wohnung werden 6.700€ versteckt.
Screenshot eines profil-Artikels:
Gegen "Abzas Media" laufen sieben Ermittlungsverfahren, darunter wegen Geldwäsche und Steuerhinterziehung. „Gerade der Vorwurf von Finanzverbrechen ist eine Strategie, um Journalisten einzuschüchtern und zu diskreditieren“, erklärt die Journalistin Ulviyya Ali, die über den Fall intensiv berichtet hatte. Weit verbreitet ist die Taktik bei Hausdurchsuchungen, entweder hohe Bargeldsummen oder Drogen zu deponieren um Strafverfahren zu fingieren. 
Das soll neben Haftstrafen oder Bußgeldern auch den journalistischen Ruf zerstören, erzählt Ali. „Journalisten, die noch auf freiem Fuß sind, werden darauf als Zeugen zu Verhören eingeladen“, erklärt sie. „Indirekt wird damit natürlich die Nachricht gesendet ‚Wenn du weiter so machst, wartet auf dich auch das Gefängnis‘.“

One year ago today, seven police officers stormed the Baku home of former VOA News freelance reporter Ulviyya Ali at midnight, searched it, and arrested her. HRF demands her immediate release and accountability for the abuse she has suffered in detention.

“After Azerbaijan, I changed three countries and four homes," says @cavid.info. “I still have difficulty processing it. Rebuilding a circle of friends, meeting new people, retelling the same story to everyone — it is mentally exhausting.”

I have always wondered why I use English on social media. Contrary to what people think, I am not trying to be as universal as possible. It is just that English is the most comfortable language to express my intimate feelings in.

The most brutal thing to discover about myself since arriving in Warsaw was that I am genuinely incapable of expressing any feeling externally. Everything goes inside - the joy, the rage, the love and the sadness etc.

The very public falling out between Baku and Moscow was arguably the most significant break in bilateral relations since they were first established.

Azerbaijani government banned people from holding an anti-Russian protest in front of the Russian embassy in Baku. Tells you a lot about their performative theatrics.
