Azerbaijan:- As the election nears, the atmosphere has not been conducive to a calm working environment for the media. The crackdown on our colleagues is one more in a series of repressive measures and provocations orchestrated by those who want to stifle and intimidate any form of dissent before the election. With more than 10 journalists languishing behind bars, the revival of the Soviet-style propaganda on the national TV channels, and total impunity for violence against journalists, we fear that the situation is rapidly getting out of control and journalists are no longer able to do their job in freedom and safety,says IRFS CEO and Chairman Emin Huseynov.
