Khadija Ismayilova, a prominent Azerbaijani investigative journalist was released on probation on 25 May 2016, after her detention was widely criticised by activists and human rights organisations. Ms Ismayilova, who had delved into the wealth of the country’s ruling family, had been arrested in December 2014 and sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in jail in September 2015. She was freed by Azerbaijan’s supreme court after judges ruled her sentence would be changed to a three-and-a-half-year suspended term. |
