Baku/10.08.17/Turan: Binagadi district court under the chairmanship of Rashad Aliyev today refused to satisfy the appeal of journalist Khadija Ismaylova to cancel the ban on her departure from the country.
According to Ismayilova, she intended to take part in the event on the journalistic awards in Canada. In particular, she became one of the three finalists of the Allard Prize at British Columbia University. The awarding ceremony is scheduled for September 28 in Vancouver.
Allard's International Prize for Honesty is awarded to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional courage and leadership in fighting corruption, in particular by promoting the principles of openness, accountability and the rule of law. The size of the award is C $100,000, and it is awarded every two years.
In addition, every six months, a photo contest is held, within which the ability of the photographer to convey the ideals of the Allard prize is pictured. The winner of the competition receives a cash prize of $1,000 Canadian dollars, and his work will be displayed for six months on the Allard Prize website.
Previously, Ismaylova had already been denied departure from the country under the pretext that a verdict on provisional deprivation of liberty was in force against her.
The journalist appealed this decision and after passing all the judicial instances in Azerbaijan, appealed to the European Court of Human Rights.
Ismayilova was arrested on December 5, 2014 on charges of tax evasion, illegal entrepreneurship and sentenced to 7.5 years imprisonment. She rejected all charges. On May 25, 2016, the Supreme Court softened the sentence to 3.5 years' imprisonment conditionally. -16D-

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.
