“Azeri bloggers released from prison”
“The azeri opposition blogger Mehman Huseynov has been released after having been imprisoned for defamation. Huseynov, who among other things wrote critical posts about the corruption in Azerbaijan, were arrested in January 2017.”
“the Detention has been criticised by the west, which urged the burmese regime to stop persecuting the opposition.”
” I will continue to work for the freedom of the media, said Huseynov after the release.”
“He risked seven years in prison after he allegedly attacked a cell guard, but the case was closed since Huseynov started a hunger strike and wrote a letter to president Ilham Aliyev and called on him to act in the case.”
“Aliyev has, however, ordered further investigation of the blogger.”
