AZERBAIJAN MAY BE EXPELLED FROM PACE

PanARMENIAN.Net - "If before the PACE April session the question of political prisoners is not solved in Azerbaijan, the country can lose its mandate in the organization," PACE Rapporteur on political prisoners in Azerbaijan Malcolm Bruce told BBC. In his words, he studies the case of seven opposition leaders and thinks that these could be referred to as political prisoners. Human rights proponent Leyla Yunus noted that she had many times warned about the patience of international organizations being limited. "Only by means of universal amnesty Azerbaijan can avoid undesirable consequences," L. Yunus emphasized. It should be reminded that Azerbaijan is the only South Caucasian country, where political prisoners are still available
