A protest rally, organized by Azerbaijani-Americans for Democracy
(AZAD), was held on Friday in front of Azerbaijani Embassy in
Washington, DC, in support of the arrested bloggers Adnan Hajizada
and Emin Milli.
The action was called at the initiative of a group of
Azerbaijani-Americans and was attended by about 40 people from
different cities in the United States, including representatives of
Azerbaijani-American community, Reporters Without Borders, University
of Richmond and other American public.
Holding US and Azerbaijani flags, protesters chanted slogans and held
posters demanding freedom for Adnan Hajizada, Emin Milli, and other
Azerbaijani journalists and political prisoners.
Some of the slogans included "Free Azeri Bloggers, Arrest Corrupt
Azeri Officials", "Ilham Aliyev, You Are Responsible For Arrest of
Adnan and Emin", "Freedom for Adnan and Emin", "Respect Free Speech
and Human Rights", "Rule by Law Not by Force", "Down with Tyranny",
"Long Live Republic, Down with Monarchy" and others.
A representative of Reporters Without Borders, Clothilde Le Coz,
has read a statement at the rally, demanding the immediate release
of Adnan and Emin.
