Abid Qafarov
Baku/01.06.23/Turan: On June 1, video blogger Abid Gafarov, who was sentenced to a year in prison on charges of slander and insulting war participants, was released.
This was reported to Turan by his lawyer Agyl Layic.
One of the charges against Gafarov was terminated by the decision of the Baku court of appeal.
"The court acquitted him on charges of libel and released him due to the end of his sentence on the second charge of insult," the lawyer said.
"He is innocent, and we will use all legal means to restore justice," the defender continued.
As a reminder, Abid Gafarov was arrested on July 13 last year. He was sued by a group of veterans of the Karabakh war. They claimed that Gafarov had insulted and slandered them.
By a court decision, Gafarov was sentenced to a year in prison under Articles 147 (slander) and 148 (insult) of the Criminal Code. He was sentenced to 6 months of imprisonment on each charge.
The real reason of Abid Gafarov's persecution was his video reports exposing crimes against a large group of military men convicted of allegedly spying for Armenia in the scandalous "Terter case" in 2017.
He published his research on the YouTube channel KİM.TV . -0-

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
