En savoir plus sur le livre

What does it mean to choose freedom when speaking out comes at the cost of persecution, isolation and imprisonment? For more than three decades, Ali Karimli has stood at the forefront of Azerbaijan's democratic opposition. In these writings, articles and interviews-spanning the Arab Spring, the rise of authoritarianism, war, shifting global alliances and his own imprisonment-he examines the forces that keep oppressive regimes in power and the courage required to resist them. At once a political testimony and a defence of universal values, The Decision to Be Free offers an uncompromising reflection on democracy, human dignity and peaceful struggle. Written from within one of the world's most tightly controlled political systems, it is also an appeal to Europe and the international community not to sacrifice fundamental principles for short-term interests. Above all, this book expresses a conviction that no prison is strong enough to contain: there are no invincible dictators-only nations that have not yet made the decision to be free.
