Azerbaijan’s abuse of defamation laws to put pressure on journalists in Azerbaijan has been condemned by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) in a declaration adopted yesterday, APA reports
The committee protested in particular at the imprisonment of the journalists Ilgar Nasibov and Eynulla Fatullayev earlier this year.
Abuse of defamation laws can lead to “real media self-censorship and causes progressive shrinkage of democratic debate”, the committee said./APA/
