Azerbaijan paper evicted from offices

The Azerbaijani authorities have evicted an opposition newspaper from its offices in the capital, Baku. A journalists' union leader called the move part of a government campaign to silence dissent, and the United States also expressed dismay. About 100 police surrounded the the editorial offices of Azadliq as bailiffs removed the paper's property and took it away in trucks. The eviction came the day after Azerbaijan's first independent television station, ANS television, was prevented from broadcasting by the government. (Via Moscow Times)
