"The recent brazen attack and threats against Ayten Mammadova is an attack not only on her, but on all journalists in Azerbaijan," said Gulnoza Saeed, CPJ's Programme Coordinator for Europe and Central Asia. "The Azerbaijani authorities must send a clear message that such attempts to intimidate journalists are unacceptable and bring the perpetrators, including those who ordered it, to justice," she said.
