HRHW Dokumentarfilmfestival: The prisoner from Azerbaijan

Freedom of expression is essential to a functional democracy, but this basic human right is under pressure globally, both by brutal force and more subtle mechanisms.

The prisoner from Azerbaijan:
(Norway, 2010, 28min., Erling Borgen)
Introduction by director Erling Borgen. This film is dedicated to the imprisoned Azeri journalist and editor Eynulla Fatullayev, who is currently in jail serving a prison term on fabricated charges. The real reason for his arrest is widely believed to be his openly critical position on the policies of the authoritarian government of Azerbaijan.

For tredje år på rad arrangeres Human Rights Human Wrongs, hvor vi gjennom sterke dokumentarfilmer og viktige debatter tar opp aktuelle menneskerettighets-spørsmål.
