About Caspian Watch

Independent monitoring for the Caspian region

Caspian Watch documents human rights developments, political prisoner cases, civic space, and regional power shifts through a source-led editorial method.

Mission

To make complex regional developments legible for citizens, journalists, researchers, diplomats, lawyers, and advocates.

Editorial method

Reports and case files should be grounded in public sources, official records, credible media reporting, court materials, or documented testimony.

Data principle

Incomplete case data is handled transparently as an editorial review signal. Missing fields do not block saving; they guide future verification.
