"We condemn the attack on journalists" - Elşad Eyvazlı, President of the Foreign Media Council of the Global Journalists Council
Elşad Eyvazlı, President of the Foreign Media Council of the Global Journalists Council, which is represented in 64 countries of the world, made a statement protesting the pressure applied to Azerbaijani journalist Aygün Hasanova in France the previous day. "We condemn all kinds of pressure and violence against journalists. We demand a statement from the French government regarding the pressure on Aygün Hasanova, an employee of Azerbaijan's official media agency AZERTAC, who was sent to New Caledonia. What hinders the professional activities of journalists in a country like France is the violation of international rights and freedoms. Such a situation in one of the world's political centers would frustrate journalists everywhere. "We consider and condemn the journalist's detention at the police station and deportation from the country without any justification as a restriction on the journalist's right to receive news."
