    US Senators concerned over human rights and freedom of speech in Azerbaijan


    US Senator Amy Klobuchar expressed her grave concerns to Azerbaijani
    community representatives in the US over Azerbaijani bloggers Emin
    Milli and Adnan Hajizade imprisonment, Turan reported.

    `The US continues to cooperate with Azerbaijani government and people
    over reinforcing democratic reforms, including the limitations of
    freedom of speech and holding of mass meetings,' the letter says.

    Senator recalled that earlier Washington had urged Azerbaijani
    authorities to ensure bloggers' legal defense and medical aid.

    Virginia Sen. Jim Webb also expressed concerns over human rights and
    freedom of speech in Azerbaijan.
