Azerbaijan: Supreme Court Upholds Bloggers' Conviction
On 19 August, the Azerbaijani Supreme Court considered the case of imprisoned
bloggers and youth activists Emin Milli and Adnan Hajizade. In its decision, the Court
upheld the lower courts' rulings, which convicted Milli and Hajizade of hooliganism
and sentenced them to two and a half years and two years of imprisonment
respectively. The two were arrested on 8 July 2009 after appealing to police as victims
of an assault following an incident in which they were attacked in a restaurant.
