The Court of Appeal has kept the opposition activist in custody

According to his lawyer Nemat Kerimli, the preliminary investigation against Hasanov has been completed and the case has been sent to the Baku Court for Serious Crimes. The preparatory meeting is scheduled for March 28, chaired by Javid Huseynov.
*Elnur Hasanov was arrested on November 28, 2023 on charges of drug trafficking (Article 234.4.3 of the Criminal Code).
