Sadarak Court of Nakhchivan sentenced today
two local residents, Mohammed Gurbanov to five years in prison, and his cousin, Nadir Mammadov, to four years in prison.
They were found guilty of using force against the authorities and hooliganism.
The entrepreneurs were arrested on November 8 last year, when they brought goods from Turkey. At customs they were ordered to give a bribe 40 gepik per a kilo of cargo. Entrepreneurs refused to give bribe, and invited journalists; for this the customs officers
attacked and beaten them, and journalists were actually taken hostage.
Later a lawsuit was filed against the businessmen.
The fact that the sentence against the entrepreneurs was passed the day after the President Ilham Aliyev announced the inadmissibility of pressure on entrepreneurs, and the need to combat corruption, looks like a mocking at society. -02D-
