The judge refuses to call Gular Ahmedova to court

Next trial  in the case of the editor of “Khural” newspaper Avaz Zeynalli took place in the Baku Serious  Crimes Court.

 The trial presided  by Ramella Allahverdiyeva  heard the testimony of the last witness from the bailiffs  of Narimanov district,  Fuad Nabiyev. He said that  he did not have any cases related to Zeynalli. He familiarized with the cases only during the 12-day  executing the duties  of the Head  of bailiffs in December 2010. The answers of the witness to every question were brief "do not know", "I do not remember."

  Because other witnesses did not come to the court, the judge made a decision to deliver them to  trial forcibly,  except the MP Gular Ahmedova. The judge explained by the fact that Akhmedov is a deputy. At the same time, the judge promised to invite Akhmedova.

 Then other defense motions were considered, but were denied. Thus, the judge rejected the motion  on the  replacement  the arrest to house arrest or on bail. The  trial will continue  on September 27.—06D--
