Jailed Azerbaijani Bloggers’ Appeal Rejected
BAKU — The Baku appeals court has upheld the prison sentences handed down last November to bloggers Adnan Hajizada and Emin Milli, RFE/RL’s Azerbaijani Service reports.
Hajizada’s lawyer, Isaxan Asurov, told RFE/RL that the decision is “unfair, illegal, and biased.”
The two men became famous for posting satirical comments on the Internet about the political situation in Azerbaijan. In one such posting, a donkey tells journalists how well the government treats donkeys.
