Today, 10 July, in the Nizami District Court, under the chairmanship of Ziya Aliyev, a hearing took place on the special lawsuit of “Azadlig Harakatchilari” Union Chairman Tahmasib Novruzov (to defend his honor and dignity) against “Nota” Newspaper Editor-in-Chief Substitute Sardar Alibeyli (Aliyev) under Article 148 (insult), and against “Nota” Newspaper employees Ramiz Tagiyev and Faramaz Novruzoglu (Allahverdiyev) under Article 147.2 (accusing someone of grave crimes or especially grave crimes).
Both parties made a speech during the hearing. Plaintiff Tahmasib Novruzov and his lawyer Azizaga Habilov defended their lawsuit and asked the court to punish the defendants.
Defendants – Sardar Alibeyli, Faramaz Novruzoglu and Ramiz Tagiyev said that the lawsuit was unfounded, and asked the court to reject it.
Defendant Faramaz Novruzoglu objected to the judge and filed a motion to give the case to another judge. The judge did not fulfill this motion and scheduled the next hearing on this case for 17 July at 2:00 p.m.
