Abstract
A recent judgment delivered by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) reveals how powerful persons and their environment sometimes use clearly illegal and immoral techniques in order to intimidate investigative journalists to make them stop critically reporting about their actions, policy or corruptive activities. The judgment in the case of Khadija Ismayilova v. Azerbaijan once more illustrates the practice of harassment and intimidation, and the blatant lack of respect for the rights of journalists to critically report about the government or the president in Azerbaijan (see IRIS 2010-8/2, 2015-3/1 and 2017-7/1). The case mainly concerns a smear campaign against a well-known journalist, reporting about corruption and human rights violations in her country.
