A court in Azerbaijan sentenced two opposition bloggers to jail terms Wednesday in a case that has stirred international concern over freedom of expression in the oil-producing Caspian Sea state.

Adnan Hajizade, 26, was sentenced to two years in prison and Emin Milli, 30, to two years and six months over an incident in a cafe in Baku, a member of their defense team told Reuters.

On Friday Swedish court pronounced its judgment in the Pirate Bay case. The four defendants were found guilty of violating copyright laws. The verdict was handed down to four men behind BitTorrent tracker site this morning in a court in Stockholm.

"The Stockholm district court has today found guilty the four individuals that were charged with accessory to breaching copyright laws," the court said in a statement. "The court has sentenced each of them to one year in prison."

As The Register reports, Van T. Dinh, 25, who had previously been imprisoned for the creation in 2004 a Trojan horse program that posed as a stock-tracking tool while working as a 19 year-old stock trader, is back in trouble with the law.

As it’s known, in 2004 he was jailed for 13 months after he was convicted of hacking into an account run by a fellow stock trader to buy a variety of worthless stock derivatives he had got stuck with the year before.
