That\u2019s how fast independent media are being destroyed,\u201d newspaper editor Elchin Shikhli told IWPR.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Shikhli is editor-in-chief of the Ayna-Zerkalo paper, which was forced to stop publishing in May 2014.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cIn Soviet times\u2026 no one could stick their neck out and get out of line. If they did, they\u2019d get the chop. The same thing is happening now,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Ahead of the May 3 date, the Washington-based watchdog group Freedom House issued its annual report,<br \/>\n  <i><br \/>\n    <b><br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/freedomhouse.org\/sites\/default\/files\/FreedomofthePress_2015_FINAL.pdf\"><br \/>\n        Press Freedom in 2014<br \/>\n      <\/a><br \/>\n    <\/b><br \/>\n  <\/i><br \/>\n  , which ranked Azerbaijan\u2019s media as \u201cnot free\u201d and awarded it 188th place on a downward scale that ends with North Korea at 199.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Last year, the report said, \u201cthe government unleashed a major crackdown on independent media, employing threats, raids, restrictive laws, and prosecutions. Journalists and bloggers faced fabricated charges and arbitrary detention, and at least eight remained in prison at year\u2019s end, making Azerbaijan the worst jailer of journalists in Eurasia.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  (See also IWPR\u2019s report on 2014:<br \/>\n  <i><br \/>\n    <b><br \/>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/go.iwpr.net\/1LC8T7T\"><br \/>\n        Grim Year for Press Freedom<br \/>\n      <\/a><br \/>\n    <\/b><br \/>\n  <\/i><br \/>\n  .)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  SILENCING INDEPENDENT REPORTERS\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Around 12 journalists and bloggers have been arrested in as many months. Among them are leading investigative reporter<br \/>\n  <i><br \/>\n    <b><br \/>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/iwpr.net\/global-voices\/top-azerbaijani-journalist-behind-bars\"><br \/>\n        Khadija Ismayil<br \/>\n      <\/a><br \/>\n    <\/b><br \/>\n  <\/i><br \/>\n  , arrested in early December and now facing new charges including embezzlement and tax evasion, after prosecutors found it difficult to stand up the original allegation of \u201cpressuring someone to commit suicide\u201d.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Ismayil reports for the Prague-based radio station RFE\/RL and has conducted in-depth probes into financial wrongdoing by top Azerbaijan leaders. She could face up to 12 years in jail.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Independent journalists, human rights defenders and opposition members are commonly accused of financial misdemeanours or disorderly behaviour, both to deflect attention from their criticism of government and to smear their reputations.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In April 2014,<br \/>\n  <i><br \/>\n    <b><br \/>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/go.iwpr.net\/1yF7wzP\"><br \/>\n        Rauf Mirqadirov<br \/>\n      <\/a><br \/>\n    <\/b><br \/>\n  <\/i><br \/>\n  was detained in Turkey and sent to Azerbaijan, where he was accused of passing secret information to Armenia. His lawyer said Mirqadirov regarded the charges as absurd.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In January 2015, a court sentenced journalist<br \/>\n  <i><br \/>\n    <b><br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/iwpr.net\/global-voices\/dubious-assault-charge-against-azeri-journalist\"><br \/>\n        Seymur Hezi<br \/>\n      <\/a><br \/>\n    <\/b><br \/>\n  <\/i><br \/>\n  \u00a0to five years in prison. Hezi writes for the Azadliq newspaper and presented Azerbaijan Hour, carried on a Turkish TV channel.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He was arrested last August and charged with disorderly conduct. His legal team said he was attacked by a man and hit back in self-defence.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cMy grandfathers were purged in 1937. Now we are being purged by a system created by KGB general Heydar Aliyev [late president, succeeded by son Ilham Aliyev],\u201d Hezi said in court.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Social media activist Faraj Karimov was detained in July last year and charged with possession of drugs, as was his brother Siraj.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThey are both members of the [opposition] Musavat party, which is why their family has always had problems from the government,\u201d their lawyer Nemat Karimli said.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Faraj Karimov ran ISTEFA (\u201cResign\u201d), the largest Azeri-language page on Facebook with had 300,000 subscribers before it was closed down in July 2013. He then created a page called BASTA, which had 155,000 subscribers, and was also administrator of the Musavat party\u2019s website.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  SHUTTING DOWN MEDIA\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Ayna-Zerkalo is only one of several important media outlets forced to shut down their operations over the last years, including the Media Forum website, the web-based Obyektiv TV, and the Baku office of RFE\/RL radio (on which see<br \/>\n  <i><br \/>\n    <b><br \/>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/go.iwpr.net\/1IIoD9X\"><br \/>\n        Azerbaijan Turns on US-Funded Broadcaster<br \/>\n      <\/a><br \/>\n    <\/b><br \/>\n  <\/i><br \/>\n  .)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  A criminal investigation against RFE\/RL is ongoing, and its staff are either out of work or abroad.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In an attempt to obscure the real reasons for such actions, prosecutors commonly bring allegations of financial wrongdoing. The Media Forum, for instance, was a project run by media development organisation Internews, which has had its accounts frozen as part of a drive to stop foreign donors funding organisations in Azerbaijan.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In the case of Ayna-Zerkalo, Shikhli says the newspaper was undermined by even more indirect means \u2013 \u201cthe advertising market became monopolised\u201d by powerful interests.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe majority of independent print outlets have either closed down or have been co-opted by the authorities. There are no independent television channels left, either,\u201d reporter Aynur Imranova told IWPR.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Imranova herself is under investigation and is barred from leaving the country.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cEvery time I go in for questioning, I take a packed bag in case they arrest me,\u201d she said in a recent appeal for help.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  A handful of independent media are fighting a rearguard battle for survival, among them the Azadlik newspaper. Its editor Rahim Hajiev says the government is using various ploys to drive it into the ground, from court action to banning retail sales and blocking off advertising revenues.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cIn recent months, the newspaper has carried on solely thanks to the selflessness of our staff, since we haven\u2019t been able to pay them since January. Lawsuits against the newspaper continue, and we haven\u2019t been able to pay previous fines yet,\u201d Hajiyev told IWPR. \u201cThe hardest thing for me to say right now is how long the newspaper will hold out. I don\u2019t have an answer to that.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The Turan news agency is in a similar position. Chief editor Mehman Aliyev says the few remaining staff are struggling on as its income dwindles.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Azadliq used to receive grants from foreign donors, but a recent law has cut off that kind of funding. Amendments passed by Azerbaijan\u2019s parliament in December allow courts to shut down a media outlet if it is found to be receiving funding from abroad, as well as if it has had two guilty verdicts for defamation in the space of one year.
