AZERBAIJAN OUTLINES MEASURES TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS
By empty (2/2/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The Azerbaijani Interior Ministry and the independent Press Council established last year have drafted measures to minimize the likelihood that journalists covering political demonstrations will be targeted by police in the event that a demonstration turns violent. Press Council Chairman Aflatun Amashev explained that 500 special jackets will be manufactured at a cost of 20 million manats ($4,091) and distributed to editorial offices. Special access to the site of demonstrations will also be provided for journalists, and a group comprising Interior Ministry and Press Council representatives will monitor demonstrations and take immediate action if journalists are endangered.Visit also
