Threatened Voices has changed the status and updated the profile page of video blogging youth activist Adnan Hajizade [1] following news that an Appeal Court in Azerbaijan ordered his conditional release earlier today after 16 months in detention. Despite significant international outcry, however, Emin Milli [2], an associate of Hajizade arrested at the same time, remains in prison. Hajizade called for his release in video [3] [AZ] shot when he walked free.
