She condemned the absence of political prisoners in the list. "This is a blow to the community, and human rights defenders, and the biggest impact to the image of the Azerbaijani state and its head," said Jafaroglu.
However, she noted that human rights defenders continue efforts to release political prisoners.-05B-
