Azerbaijan human rights activists point to necessity to change priorities of their activity

The Azerbaijan human rights activists should review priorities of their activity.

Such an opinion was given by Tamilla Kerimova, a member of Helsinki Citizens' Assembly National Committee of Azerbaijan.

"It is essential that we stop concentrating our attention on setting 10-15 political prisoners free. It is time to switch over to the solution of really urgent problems of the country's population," Ms Kerimova said at a press conference on February 11.

According to her, "the country's leadership should be more in earnest about problems in the field of health protection."
