'Democracy' According to the Azerbaijani Government

The Azerbaijani government jails two journalists for comparing Christian and Muslim values and denigrating the Prophet Muhammed. The BBC reports on the government's response to international criticism of a recent free speech clampdown:

Seven journalists are now in prison in the country, but authorities say there are no problems with free speech in Azerbaijan as long as journalists obey the law.

Cute.
