The state prosecutor spoke in the Khatai District Court of Baku in the trial presided by Abil Mamedov on the case of the editor of the P.S. Nota site www.psnota.com Sardar Alibeyli. The prosecutor asked the court to declare Alibeili guilty under Article 221.3 (hooliganism committed with weapons or objects used as weapons), and sentence him to 5.5 years in prison.
Alibeyli's lawyer Samir Isayev said that during the trial Alibeyli's guilt was not proved. The victim and the prosecution witnesses gave confused and contradictory testimony.
At the same time, witnesses for the defense were not questioned at the trial.
The speeches of the lawyer and the accused himself are scheduled for November 12.
Previously the editor was repeatedly detained for critical and insulting publications.
It is believed that this time the cause of his arrest became critical notes and a collage of the head of state Ilham Aliyev posted on Facebook, as well as the publication of the political emigrant Isa Sadykhov. -03B06-
