* Mehman Huseynov was sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment on March 3 on charges of defamation on the suit of Musa Musayev, the Nasimi police chief. The reason for the claim was the blogger's statements about his abduction and torture by the Nasimi police. Huseynov and human rights organizations are convinced that the blogger is being persecuted for critical reports on social networks about high-ranking officials of Azerbaijan. -05B06-
