Azerbaijan’s youth fined £470 for protesting

Written by Mike on . Posted in Blog, Free expression

Azerbaijan has just passed a strict anti-protest law clearly in violation of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights. This morning 12 young people were fined a significant amount of money
after Saturday’s protest. I hope they take this all the way to the European Court of Human Rights.
