On November 1st the correspondent of the Ayna/Zerkalo newspaper and the IRFS, Idrak Abbasov was invited to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where photos of 22 different people suspected of attacking Abbasov were shown to him, Abbasov’s lawyer Fariz Namazli told the IRFS.
“It was hard to identify the attackers, as the photos were old, black-and-white and very small, but Idrak Abbasov suspected 9 of 22 people and we requested face-to-face confrontation. We are going to meet those people in the coming days” said the lawyer.
