The preparatory meeting on Tuesday at 11.00 in the Sheki Court of Grave Crimes on the case of the people accused in the Ismailly events, was postponed until 16.00.
As the regional correspondent for Turan said, at 11:00 the defendants were brought to court, but the judges did not arrive and the postponement of the meeting was announced.
Today the relatives of the accused were allowed into the hall, however, civil society activists and opposition, as well as many journalists were not allowed entry.
In the hall the leader of the REAL, Ilgar Mamedov, said that despite assurances by President Ilham Aliyev that the trial will be open, the court is not held transparently or objectively.
Another accused, a resident of Ismailly, Vasif Ibrahimov claimed he was severely beaten at the Baku prison by an officer named Farid. He turned to the Ombudsman, but after that he was put under pressure to make him withdraw the complaint.
At the same time, the hall was set for the communication of the arrested with their families. -33C-
