Mirza Khazar: The Yasamal Court Decision & The OSCE Reaction

Mirza Khazar 19 Jul 2007

The OSCE Baku Office has made us happy by issuing such a positive and extremely optimistic Press Release. Best regards. The Yasamal District Court's revolutionary decision has made all of us happy. We have to be proud. The Yasamal decision was made when Azerbaijani journalists, including those still suffering in jails, celebrated 40th birthday of Elmar Huseynov. The "Azadlyq" case is an occasion. The government of Azerbaijan is under increased international pressure for persecuting independent media. The "Azadlyq" case is an occasion. It is an occasion to demonstrate how rule of law gaining position in Azerbaijan. It is an occasion to show that there are independent courts in Azerbaijan. A PR? Almost a PR. But it is not improtant. Important is that ... "If the use of the European Court of Human Rights case law becomes generalized in Azerbaijan's courts..." we will celebrate great improvement in the situation of freedom of the media in Azerbaijan, as the Press Release stated...If. Let us hope. Mirza Khazar
