Why did I create it? Because media freedom in Azerbaijan is heavily restricted. News is often published with bias, and it’s hard for readers to see the truth in a clear way. I wanted to build something to help fill that gap.

Yesterday, I launched lnk.az, an AI-powered media bias detector for Azerbaijani readership. My goal is to make information more transparent, clear, and independent for everyone.

LNK - Media qərəzi qiymətləndiricisi

Süni intellektlə media qərəzi və etibarlılığı yoxlayın. Etibarlılıq (0–100) və siyasi hakimiyyət meyli (−5…+5) üzrə qiymətləndirmə.

Message from @smdov.bsky.social:

"My trials were conducted very unfairly. No one was allowed into my hearings. They could not prove my guilt in any way.

I ask all honest people to share that I am innocent and that I was imprisoned for wanting peace and justice."

So far, once while being held at the State Security Service and once in Temporary Detention Center, he attempted suicide, and both times someone saved him at the last moment. He said that on the third attempt he will kill himself and end his life.

News from Bahruz Samadov:
He met his grandmother today. He told her that since the peace treaty was signed, being unjustly kept in prison hurts him even more now. He said he cannot find peace for himself in the cell.

New message from @smdov.bsky.social:

1. I highly appreciate the signing of the peace agreement in the US.
2. I request the Armenian state to issue a statement confirming that I have no connection with Armenia.
3. Closed courts do not allow open court hearings to be transparent.
