[IRP] "Right to Remain Silent" - Azerbaijan situation @IGF 2012 - Azeri speakers

[Marianne Franklin]

Dear all

Sorted out the places Azeri activists are speaking today; thankfully not 
in parallel but in back-to-back sessions:

Elvin Mejidov is speaking at the RP Coalition-Access workshop ( 
http://wsms1.intgovforum.org/content/no157-access-internet-human-right) 
at 14.30 in Room 2

Emin Milli has tweeted that he's "Speaking today at #*igf12* 
<https://twitter.com/search?q=%23igf12&src=hash> in Baku at the workshop 
about "Civil Rights in Digital Age" at 16.30 in room 8"

To those of you not at Baku, speaking here is all via headphones; a 
different aural space for f2f meetings..

best
MF
