Amnesty International urges Azerbaijan to release Sahar TV reporter
“Amnesty International” urged Azerbaijan to immediately release journalist of Iranian “Sahar” TV, news agency FARS said.
“Amnesty International believes the charges against Anar Bayramli were fabricated in retaliation for his work as a reporter,” the right group said in a report.
Referring to the recent detention of Bayramli and Ramin Bayramov, editor-in-chief of the Islamic news website Islam-Azeri, Amnesty International said the secular government of Azerbaijan has arrested them on false charges in order to prevent the free flow of information.
