Haraszti said he raised the issue of releasing the bloggesr in all meetings. “Ali Hasanov shared my concerns and said the problem would be solved positively on the basis of proceeding rulesâ€.
The OSCE representative said his office concerned over the persecution against the journalists in Azerbaijan. “Azerbaijan needs not to persecute, but to protect them for improvement of freedom of the mediaâ€. Haraszti called on the government of Azerbaijan to release two arrested editors-in-chief.
The guest reminded about the pardoning of several journalists by the President of Azerbaijan and said he hoped this tradition would be developed. He called the withdrawal of foreign radios from the national air as a blow on pluralism. Haraszti said media legislation was changed negatively this year.
