Human rights defender appeals to Reporters Without Borders: “You have lost your sense of reality”

Last week, Reporters Without Borders released its World Press Freedom Index, ranking Azerbaijan 168th out of 180 countries. Ahmad Shahidov, a human rights defender and head of the Azerbaijan Institute for Democracy and Human Rights, protested against this ranking in a video message to Reporters Without Borders. The human rights defender said that Reporters Without Borders organisation is always biased against Azerbaijan and have completely lost its sense of reality.
