Court sentenced website head to 8 years of imprisonment
On 22 January, the Ganja Court for Serious Crimes sentenced Arshad Ibragimov, founder of the website 'dunyaninsesi.az', to 8 years of imprisonment, finding him guilty of extortion by threats.
According to his relatives, Ibragimov suffered for his publications about police iniquities. He was arrested after he refused to remove the material.
Lawyer Zabil Gahramanov also claimed that Ibragimov did not commit any crime imputed to him.
‘In court, the persons recognised as victims said they had no claims against Ibragimov. They said they were brought to the Interior Ministry's Department for Combating Organised Crime and forced to write complaints against Ibargimov.
The verdict will be appealed in the appeals court,’ Gahramanov said.
Ibragimov was detained in December 2023. He was charged under Article 282.2.2 (extortion by threats, committed repeatedly) of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan.
In turn, the Interior Ministry said that Ibrahimov was detained on the basis of ‘numerous complaints’.
