The European Court of Human Rights has rejected a claim by Azerbaijani opposition figure Ali Karimli against Azerbaijan, according to Oxu.Az.
Why it matters: Karimli is one of Azerbaijan's best-known opposition voices, and Strasbourg rulings on his cases are closely watched in Baku. A rejection, rather than a ruling against the state, is a result the Azerbaijani authorities will present as vindication, and the opposition will read as a closed door on this particular complaint.
