Trial in the case of Sardar Alibeili, the chief editor of the newspaper and website PS.Nota www.psnota.com, charged with disorderly conduct, finished today in the Khatai district court.
In his last word Alibeili said that he was persecuted for political reasons for criticism of authorities.
The court found him guilty under the Article 221.3 ( hooliganism committed with weapons or objects used as weapons,) and sentenced him to four years in prison.
Earlier, the prosecutor asked the court to sentence Alibeili to 5.5 years in prison.
Alibeili was arrested July 31 on a complaint of a Namik Amirov.
Alibeili repeatedly subjected to criminal prosecution because of the critical and insulting publications.
Alibeili’s colleagues believe that this time the cause of his arrest became critical notes and a collage of the head of state, Ilham Aliyev, posted in Facebook, as well as the publication of a political emigrant Isa Sadykhov. –06В--
