Thanks for clarifying that, Marianne. Glad to hear at least one workshop
did get approved. Many thanks to all involved!
By the way, as many of you may already know, there has recently been a
crackdown on human rights defenders in Azerbaijan again as well, including
on bloggers and others who attended the IGF there, such as Rasul Jafarov. I
think this deserves repeated mention - and protest - in the IGF as well
(though Deirdre, I understand that you may not be able to include it in
your speech, and that you have some very difficult to make already!).
Best,
Anja
