Kiev Prosecutor�s Office seeks Fikret Huseynli's arrest

Baku / 22.11.17 / Turan: The Appeals Court of the city of Kiev will consider the protest of the Prosecutor's Office on the case of Azerbaijani journalist Fikret Huseynli on November 30 at 10:00. Turan himself reported this to Huseynli himself, who are currently in Ukraine.

Journalist Huseynli, who emigrated from Azerbaijan to the Netherlands, and received the citizenship of this country, was detained on October 14 with a flight from Kiev to Dusseldorf on the basis of Azerbaijan's request through Interpol. In Azerbaijan he is accused of fraud and illegal crossing of borders.

On October 18, the Borispol City Court of Ukraine arrested him for 18 days to consider the issue of his extradition to Azerbaijan.

Huseynli rejects accusations and considers the criminal case against him to be a political order.

On October 27, the Lukyanovsky court in Kiev vacated Huseynli for bail of the de-factate of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Mikola Knyazhitsky and public figure Boris Zakharov. At the same time, the court rejected the state prosecutor's request to extradite Huseynli to Azerbaijan.

The Kiev prosecutor's office filed an appeal against the release of Huseynli and demands his arrest. "At the moment I am in Kiev. The prosecutor's office has not returned my passport yet. On this issue, the court must decide. It is felt that the prosecutor's office wants to carry out a deal with the Azerbaijani authorities," Huseynli said.

According to him, two more journalists from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have been detained in Ukraine. He called on international organizations to increase attention to these cases. -03B06-
