Protest Over Response to Azerbaijan Election
From Times Wire Reports

Some of the observers donned dark glasses and held white canes in front of the OSCE office in Warsaw.
The OSCE says the Oct. 15 election of Ilham Aliyev as president was “generally well administered in most polling stations but ... still fell short of international standards.”
