Authorities in Azerbaijan must immediately release a member of an
opposition youth organization sentenced to two and a half years in
prison on fabricated drug charges, Amnesty International said.

Jabbar Savalan, a member of the Azerbaijan Popular Front Party’s
(APFP) youth group, was apparently targeted for using Facebook to call
for a `Day of Rage’ inspired by protests in the Middle East and North
Africa.
