Baku/15.08.22/Turan: The police refused to initiate a criminal case on a complaint of beating and psychological pressure in colony No. 1 against journalist Polad Aslanov. This was reported to Turan by his wife Gulmira Aslanova as referred to the official response of the Nizami district police department.
It should be recalled that Polad Aslanov reported that on April 1 this year he was beaten in the colony by a cellmate. In this connection, his wife held a number of protest actions. On April 9, she was received by the Nizami district prosecutor's office that promised to conduct an investigation.
"My complaint from the Nizami prosecutor's office was transferred to the district police. They conducted an "investigation" and found no "fact of the crime", refusing to initiate a criminal case," Aslanova noted.
The investigator referred to the testimony of an officer of the penitentiary service and four prisoners who denied the fact of the attack on Polad.
"If the cellmate did not beat my husband, then why was he put in the punishment cell for 3 days?", - Aslanova asked.
Besides, the investigation referred to the conclusion of the forensic medical examination that there were no traces of violence on Polad's body. However, there was no examination, his wife claims.
She noted that the decision of the Nizami police will be appealed. At the same time, Aslanova stressed that provocations against her husband have recently stopped.
*Founder and head of the website xeberman.com Polad Aslanov was arrested in June 2019 on charges of treason and sentenced to 16 years of imprisonment. Human rights activists recognized him as a political prisoner. On February 24, the Supreme Court reduced his term of imprisonment to 13 years.—06B-

The Business Continuity test of Azercell's CMG project was conducted in the Alat Free Economic Zone. A real-time Business Continuity test of the CMG – Crisis Management Group of Azercell, which is a leading mobile operator in the country, was conducted in the Alat Free Economic Zone. For implementation of the first tests Azercell was partnering with Azercosmos, Aztelekom, and Baktelecom. During the simulation, a crisis was created by completely cutting off communication in the designated area. Technical teams from the regions arrived at the scene during the crisis drill, initiating efforts to restore communication. Initially, groups installed two mobile Base Stations in the area, providing 2G service to a limited number of subscribers using facilities of the national satellite. In the next stage, high-speed internet, 3G, and 4G networks were restored, and the area was equipped with 100-megabit Wi-Fi service. It's worth noting that in comparison to previous tests, the recovery time was reduced by half in this simulation test. All mentioned recovery operations were carried out by teams from the regions and the groups of experts specially trained by Azercell.
