Reporters Without Borders is appalled to learn that a Baku court
today sentenced Ganimat Zahidov, the editor of the opposition daily
Azadlig, to four years in prison for "aggravated hooliganism" and
"assault and battery" in connection with a November 2007 incident in
which he was accosted by a stranger. The man who accosted him, Vusal
Hasanov, got an 18-month sentence.
