lpv:translated text	". Today we are discussing violations of human rights and democracy in Azerbaijan. This country is the latest in a series of Soviet republics to fight for independence, following Georgia and Ukraine. At least several dozen protesters calling for democratic reforms in the country were arrested during the recent demonstration in Baku. Even prior to this, over 100 people had been sentenced to prison for expressing their political opinions and opposing the government, following the rigged presidential elections of 2003. A great many opposition activists, journalists, teachers and casual bystanders have been caught up in the wave of violence unleashed by the authorities. Azerbaijan is turning out to be a typical example of a country that has undergone superficial transformations. Its much-trumpeted democracy is nothing other than a facade behind which the totalitarian leaders of the Communist party have exchanged their party membership books for cheque books. They have amassed fortunes at the expense of society by manipulating people who have been deprived not only of their rights, but also of their property. As Pope John Paul II once said, the warped idea of freedom as entirely unencumbered liberty and licence still poses a threat to democracy and free societies. We are in favour of justice and truth, so we support the opposition’s demands that democratic principles and freedom of speech be respected and that there be no more intimidation or violence. We also support their calls for the punishment of those who murdered Mr Huseynov and Mr Djalilov, those members of the opposition who died in unexplained circumstances."@en1
