The court in Tbilisi chose a preventive measure in the form of arrest for two months against the head of “Azel.Tv” website Afgan Sadygov. This was reported to Turan by his wife Sevinj Sadygova.
According to her, it was announced in court that a criminal case under the Article “Extortion” was opened by the Azerbaijani Interior Ministry on 10 May.
“In June in Baku, I made an enquiry to “Asan Hidmet” about whether there is any criminal, court case against my husband, whether he is wanted.
The reply to the enquiry stated only that he had a criminal record,” Sadygova said. She believes the criminal case against her husband has been falsified.
An appeal will be filed against the arrest decision, Sadygova said.
It should be reminded that Sadygov was detained on 3 August in Tbilisi at the request of Baku.
