P.S Nota Newspaper’s Editor-in-chief Sardar Alibeyli (Aliyev) told the Institute for Reporters’ Freedom and Safety (IRFS) that he was subject to provocation. He said that on 21 February, in the early morning, he was insulted by his Arabic neighbor who lives upstairs. S.Alibeyli said that he remained calm and called “102” service, then he was invited to the police department #35 regarding this and wrote a statement.
“This provocation against me is related to my opinions in the press conference I held after I was released and my interview published in Khural Newspaper,” said S.Alibeyli who noted that he appealed to meet with Internal Affairs Minister Ramil Usubov regarding this incident.
