This footage was shot by the Institute for Reporters Freedom and Safety on the night that "Azadlig" Newspaper Chief Editor Ganimat Zahid was detained by police and the following night when an impromptu court hearing was conducted at 8 p.m. to sentence Zahid to two months of imprisonment. The arrest of G. Zahid, the head of one of Azerbaijan's most outspoken opposition newspapers, has sparked international condemnation, and many people believe that Zahid has been jailed on spurious charges. This footage includes a deputy police chief telling a U.S. diplomat that wanted to observe Zahid's hearing to "Go Away!" in English.
