Recall that Amirov was detained on August 20, 2016. He was charged with inciting inter-religious strife.

After the arrest of Amirov, the issue of the newspaper Azadlig was terminated. The bank serving the newspaper refused to recognize the authority of other employees of the newspaper Azadliq.
After Amirov's arrest, a tax audit of activities for the period from 2010-2016 was arranged in the newspaper's editorial office.
The majority of employees of the newspaper Azadliq were summoned for interrogation to the Investigation Department for Grave Crimes of the Prosecutor General's Office. Some of them had to leave the country. -B06--
