Today at Baku Court of Grave Crimes on the court hearing in the case of the editor-in-chief of azadxeber.org, Nijat Aliyev, and nine other believers began performing with the final word.

Aliyev and nine other believers were brought to trial in May 2012, on the eve of "Eurovision- 2012." They were accused of distributing leaflets and DVDs criticizing the policy of the Azerbaijani authorities and protests against a possible gay-parade.
At the hearing on 13 November the lawyers Yalcin Imanov and Abil Bayramov called the court to acquit N.Aliyev because of the absence of proofs of his guilt.
The lawyers also asked the court to make a particular decision with regard to police investigators of Yasamal district police Canali Nuriyev and the Serious Crimes Investigation Department of the Prosecutor General, Mehdi Mirzoyeva, which, according to the defense, falsified the case.
Protection also insists on the prosecution of employees of the 27th Yasamal district police, who planted the journalist the drugs and tortured him - Aliyev lost two teeth.
The lawyers of two other defendants also asked the court to acquit their clients. The other lawyers will be given the floor at the next trial on November 21.
The defendants denied the charges and said that police subjected them to tortures.
