Press Council to appeal to Pardon Commission

PC Chief will discuss the issue in the meeting of administrative staff to be held tomorrow, APA reports.

"We will appeal to the Pardon Commission tomorrow," he said.

Amashov noted that there are few cases of arrest of journalists for their work in Azerbaijan.

"Either they are fined, or get suspended sentence," he noted.

The Council chief said that some of the journalists have been arrested because of political views. He did not want to release the names of journalists included into the pardon list.
