At the same time, the term of his punishment was reduced to 3 years of imprisonment, and immediately the court applied article 70 of the Criminal Code - on the application of a suspended sentence with a probation period of three years and ordered the release of the journalist from custody.
According to the lawyer, within the next few hours the journalist will be released. The day before Orujov was placed in the clinic of Prison No. 14.
