Demonstration to Call for Release of Eynulla Fatullayev

Azerbaijani newspaper editor Eynulla Fatullayev, 33, is serving an eight-and-a-half year prison sentence based on trumped up charges of terrorism and defamation. He was jailed in April 2007 after writing a series of articles critical of the authorities. On 22 April 2010, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that he had been wrongfully imprisoned and called for his immediate release.
