The journalists covering the trial of Khadija Ismayilova held a rally in front of the Baku Court of Grave Crimes today. They commemorated their counterpart Rasim Aliyev, who died Aug. 9 from injuries as a result of beating.
The action took place in a minute of silence. Speaking at the impromptu rally, the journalists Avaz Zeynalli, Aynur Imranova, Khalig Bahadir, Rovshan Hajiyev and others required to identify and severely punish the masterminds and perpetrators of the murder. However, they expressed doubt that this would be done.
The speakers were unanimous that the murder of the journalist was also triggered by a climate of impunity for non-disclosure of crimes against media representatives.
Recall that Rasim Aliyev, who led the Institute of Reporters Freedom and Safety from the fall of 2014, was beaten by a group of people after criticizing the football player of FC Gabala Javid Huseynov. On August 9 in the morning the reporter died from his injuries. According to unofficial data, in connection with the attack on Aliyev Huseynov’s cousin and a few others have been arrested. -06D-
