Third birthday of Avaz Zeynalli in custody
Chief Editor of "Khural" newspaper, Avaz Zeynalli, spent his birthday on December 16 in jail, where he is for a critical stance towards the authorities of Azerbaijan. He is 44 yearl old. The ordered verdict made last March 12 on his imprisonment to nine years did not break the spirit of this man of principles, has withstood more than thirty lawsuits on defamation initiated by officials at various levels, including the head of the Presidential Administration, Ramiz Mehdiyev .
The main merit of Zeynally, no one can doubt it, is the fact that he was able to open society such a phenomenon as Gular Akhmedova, a MP, a brilliant representative of the ruling party "Yeni Azerbaijan". Akhmedova became one of the main actors in a play about a slander campaign against Zeynally and his arrest.
She slandered him, but ultimately, all her efforts and slander against Zeynally, turned against Akhmedova herself; she has been imprisoned and charged with selling seats in the Azerbaijani parliament.
Zeinally still have to go a difficult path imprisoned journalist. But friends believe that the way will be short, and it will end by changes in the Azerbaijani society. -0-
