04 April 2008 [17:53] - TODAY.AZ
"Existence of media problems of Azerbaijan in the statement on implementation of the Action Plan signed within the framework of European Neighborhood Policy is true. State bodies protest the appeals on this issue. Every imprisoned journalist should be approached in the frame of law. We are the member of the Council of Europe and we have signed the European Convention on Human Rights”, Ombudsman Elmira Suleymanova told APA.

She stated that reforms were taken on human rights.

"Media representatives should follow etiquettes, rights on media and respect nation and national values. The state should not eliminate the freedom of speech. We appealed to the President for pardoning journalists and 6 journalists were released”, she said.
