Mr President, Rafiq Tagi was in fact a symbol of the free media. His family, the people of Azerbaijan and NGOs are jointly appealing for a proper and credible investigation. Let us remember that Azerbaijan is a member of the Eastern Partnership, and so I call upon all the states and governments involved in the programme to exert pressure on the Azeri authorities. It is unacceptable that citizens – and here I am thinking of Bahtiyar Hadshiev, for example – should be imprisoned for organising events on Facebook. On 10 December, International Human Rights Day, I myself organised a Facebook event called Lanterns of Freedom, which allowed thousands of people in Krakow to remember this important day and the people whose freedom is constrained. We cannot allow people to be thrown into prison for similar actions in other countries, particularly not in countries of the Eastern Partnership.
I propose that at next year's Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum, the Eastern Partnership’s journalism award should go to Mr Tagi."@en1
