Preliminary investigation in Nakhchivan completed the case of the businessman Mohammed Gurbanov and his son-in-law Nadir Mammadov.
In addition to Article 315 (resistance to authority), they presented new charges under Article 221 (hooliganism). Khalid Bagirov, the lawyer of the arrested, said at a press conference in the office of the party "Musavat", declared unfounded prosecution.
On December 8, two aforementioned entrepreneurs brought goods from Turkey to Nakhchivan. At customs they were told to pay 40 gepik bribe per kilogram. Employers refused to pay bribe, and invited journalists. However, more than 10 customs officers attacked them and beat journalists, took away their photo and video cameras, and businessmen were arrested and charged with assault on the authorities. Later a lawsuit was filed against them.
Commenting on the new charges, the lawyer said that according to investigation Mamedov scratched with a knife hand of the worker at the customs.
After the arrest Mamedov was made give evidence that journalists ILgar Nasibov and Elman Abbasov specially persuaded him to beat customs officers, so they shot it on video.
However arrested at a meeting with lawyers rejected the testimony, and said that he was tortured.
The lawyer told about very bad human rights situation in Nakhchivan. Because of the lack of attention of the democratic community of the country, local government practice of arbitrariness and lawlessness. He called on politicians, civil society activists and journalists to visit Nakhchivan more often, and pay attention to human rights.
Bagirov said that the use of torture against his clients stopped only after he began to protect prisoners on December 24, because local lawyers are not able to claim compliance with the law. Bagirov said that he filed 17 motions in connection with the lawsuit due to numerous violations.
Deputy Chairman of the Popular Front, Asef Guliyev, also stated the need for greater attention to local and international community to the problems of the NAR. He considers necessary opening of offices of international organizations to monitor the situation with the rights of prisoners by the representatives of the ICRC.
PPFA and "Public Chamber" recognized Mamedov and Gurbanova political prisoners because their prosecution began six days after joining the regional office of "Public Chamber". In addition, these people has always actively defended their rights. -06C-

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.
