INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISTS ORGANIZATION PROTESTS VIOLATIONS IN AZERBAIJAN
Reporters Without Borders Secretary-General Robert Menard has appealed
to the OSCE and the Council of Europe to urge the Azerbaijani
authorities to desist from harassing the independent media, Turan
reported on 31 January. He noted that more than 30 formal complaints
were brought against independent media outlets last year, mostly by
government officials. Menard's statement was pegged to the hunger strike
staged last month by journalists from the opposition newspaper "Yeni
Musavat" (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 23 and 29 January 2003). LF
