Reporters Without Borders Welcomes Release of Elchin Ismail, Calling for Release of Rest of Journalists
Baku/19.03.21/Turan: The organization in defense of press freedom Reporters Without Borders welcomes the release of reporter Elchin Ismail in Azerbaijan as part of an amnesty timed to coincide with the Novruz holiday.
“RSF welcomes this, but is calling for the release of three other journalists convicted on trumped-up charges,” the organization said on its Twitter page.
The regional reporter for the Azadlig newspaper and Radio Liberty, Elchin Ismail, was convicted in 2017 on false charges of extortion. The real reason was his criticism of corruption and violations of citizens' rights. -02D-
