Subject: Azerbaijani Independent Press Council

Hello Mr David Robie,

We thought you may be interested in this latest news item that has just been added to the IPC website.

A New Role for Press Councils?

The Azerbaijani Interior Ministry and the independent Press Council have drafted measures to minimise the likelihood that journalists covering political demonstrations will be targeted by police in the event that a demonstration turns violent. Moreover, 500 special jackets will be manufactured and distributed to editorial offices. It is unclear how the jackets will help protect journalists. Special access to the site of demonstrations will be provided for journalists and a group comprising Interior Ministry and Press Council representatives will monitor demonstrations, taking immediate action if journalists are endangered. In the event of police violence against journalists, the monitoring group will insist on an investigation.
