Baku/20.12.17 / Turan: The editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Khural" Avaz Zeynalli was released from custody today after the Binagadi district court ordered to recover from him a fine of 200 manats. The journalist is prosecuted under the Article 535.1 (not subordination to legal requirements of police officers) of the Administrative Offenses Code. In a conversation with a correspondent of Turan Zeynalli said that the accusation against him is far-fetched. He noted that the court's decision will be appealed in the appellate instance.
Zeynalli was detained when on air he told about the unreasonable blocking of traffic on Binagadi highway. Police officers demanded that he stop the report. However, after Zeynally continued his professional work, he was detained and taken to the 4th branch of the Binagadi district police department. -03D06-

Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
