The Supreme Court of Azerbaijan scheduled examination of the appeal of the convicted journalist Parviz Hashimli for October 27.
The case will be considered by the jury of judges chaired by Farhad Kerimov, the lawyer Elchin Sadigov told Turan.
The defense believes that the court failed to prove the guilt of the journalist. An employee of the newspaper Bizim Yol, head of the Centre for Protection of Political and Civil Rights Parviz Hashimli was arrested by the National Security Ministry on Sept. 17, 2013.
Baku Court of Grave Crimes May 15, 2014 found him guilty of illegal purchase, possession and smuggling of arms and ammunition, and sentenced him to 8 years in prison.
On December 24, 2015 the Baku Court of Appeal upheld the verdict.
Hashimli states that another defendant in the case Gurbanov slandered him. Human rights activists have recognized Hashimli a political prisoner. -16 / 06D-
