Azerbaijan: Mohammad cartoon controversy still affecting journalists

Over a year after their original publication in the Danish press, an Azerbaijani paper that reprinted the infamous Mohammad cartoons have been imprisoned. An editor and journalist for the paper Senet have been shipped to jail for "using their profession to stir up racial hatred." Said the journalist, "We don't live in a religious state and it's impossible to suppress freedom of speech."
