The Azerbaijani government is using COP29 to crack down on environmental
activists and other political opponents, according to human rights groups.
This is the third year in a row a country hosting the climate summit has
been accused of oppression and curtailing the legal right to protest.
Climate Action Network, a group of nearly 2,000 climate groups, told BBC
News the protection of civil society is crucial if countries want to see
progress on climate change. The Azerbaijani government rejects the claims
and says the government holds no political prisoners.
