Azerbaijani columnists campaign solidarity with convicted Zakhidov

Azerbaijan has hosted a campaign "Ganimat's Week" held in solidarity with Ganimat Zakhidov, editor-in-chief of the "Azadlyg" newspaper, who is now serving his term. The action was organized by the "ASI Club" ("Freedom of Speech Advocates' Club"), which is uniting the columnists of the independent and oppositional newspapers of the Republic.

The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent reports that at the presentation of the action outcomes that took place on December 18 at the Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety (IRFS), the winners were announced of the contest for the best newspaper article about Ganimat Zakhidov. In total, 15 columnists took part in the contest. Practically all of them were awarded with diplomas. The first prize was won by Gadzhi Zimin, columnists of the "Eni Musavat" newspapers. All the articles will appear in a collection.

Ganimat Zakhidov himself was decorated by a special medal of the "ASI Club" for his fortitude and courage. The medal was given to his wife Ayenda Zakhidova.
