| A U.S. federal agency on Friday strongly condemned the raid and closure of the offices of a U.S.-funded radio station in Azerbaijan's capital by prosecutors and police as part of crackdown on independent media in the ex-Soviet Caspian Sea nation. Jeff Shell, the chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, a federal agency supervising U.S. government-supported media, denounced the raid of the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty offices in Baku as "an escalation of the Azeri government's abusive attempt to intimidate independent journalists and repress free media."
