22/11/2010 (Agence Europe) - Two bloggers freed - On Friday, the high representative of the EU foreign affairs welcomed the fact that Azerbaijan has released Adnan Hajizade and Emin Abdullayev, two bloggers imprisoned in 2009 for having put online a fake press conference in which the former criticised the authorities whilst dressed as a pantomime donkey. Ashton took the opportunity to reiterate the EU's commitment to helping Azerbaijan “in fulfilling its international commitments, in particular with regard to democracy, the respect for human rights, notably the right to freedom of expression, and the rule of law”.
