For many years, Huseynov was subjected to pressure, threats and persecution for his publications.
On March 2, 2005, he was shot dead on the threshold of his apartment. 14 years have passed since the murder, but those who ordered and perpetrators of the murder have not been found. The authorities of Azerbaijan made public the names of those suspected of the murder, but no measures were taken to bring them from Georgia to Azerbaijan. -06D--
