Four pages about post-poll Azerbaijan

Seems like there's a lot going on after the election in Azerbaijan. Even though the German media is quite silent about it. But those three pages seem to have done an in-depth report:

  • The Institute for War and Peace Reporting based in London is having a special about it. There you can get endless informations - from parties participating to the opposition demonstrating on wednesday. In other words - it could be more up-to-date, but it's purpose is not to be on the lead of the last newspiece but to give well-researched background information.
  • Reporters sans frontiers allege the media coverage of the election and the campaign was nothing but unfair. There's seven occurences documented from august till the aftermath of the vote, journalists have been intimidated and beaten, among others.
  • ... while RadioFreeEurope acknoledges, that the Opposition "Candidates Benefited From More Media Access". Admittedly constraint by the way the state-controlled media gave account of the opposition parties.
  • But the best and really stunningly detailed overview about all aspects of the election is to be read at Eurasia.net with journalistic claim and a real staff (editors, reporters, information supply...). They are havign a
    Questions & Answers feature (with Urdur Gunnarsdottir, spokesperson of the OSZE, and spokespersons of the President and the opposition leaders). Really, really stunning.
