According to the journalist’s brother Elshan Ismayilli, Elchin Ismayilli is accused that, being drunk, he used foul language in a public place.
The journalist told his brother about his arrest at 20:30 by SMS. A few minutes before that Elchin spoke with his brother on the phone and was not drunk.
On Wednesday, Elchin was brought to court under Article 310.1 (disobeying the lawful demands of police).
