Two Azerbaijanis included by rights defenders in the list of
"political prisoners" have been released.
A former member of the Special Police Unit Sekhavet Humbatov and
deputy chairman of youth group Yeni Fikir (New Thought) Ramin
Taghiev were set free according to a court ruling issued last
Wednesday.
Taghiev was convicted to four years in jail in the summer of 2005

attempt to overthrow power, was handed down a 15-year jail term in
1996.
