Azerbaijan: Free "Donkey" Bloggers:

The two youth activists and bloggers were arrested on charges of “hooliganism” on 8 July, after reporting to police that they had been assaulted in a restaurant in Baku, the Azerbaijan capital.

Their arrest came just over a week after Adnan Hajizade posted a video critical of the Azerbaijani government on the video-sharing website YouTube (pictured). On 11 November, Adnan Hajizade was sentenced to two years, and Emin Abdullayev to two and a half years, after being convicted in an unfair trial.

LXXVIII:

«Mui grandemente aqui nos alegrámos
Co'a gente, e com as novas muito mais.
Pelos sinais que neste rio achámos,
O nome que lhe ficou «dos Bons Sinais».
Um padrão nesta terra alevantámos,
Que, para assinalar lugares tais,
Trazia alguns; o nome tem do belo
Guiador de Tobias a Gabelo.
