Фикрет Гусейнли
Baku/06.03.18/Turan: Overnight, people in civilian clothes who appear to be officers of the Ukrainian police tried to detain Azerbaijani journalist Fikret Huseynli at the rented apartment in Kiev. However, he managed to hide, jumping out of the window. At the same time, the journalist injured his hand. He is currently in a relatively safe place. But they are looking for him everywhere. Turan was informed about this by a source in the Diaspora.
He believes that Huseynli wanted to detain and extract him to Azerbaijan. Among the people in civilian clothes there were people who spoke Azerbaijani. The embassy of the Netherlands was informed of the incident.
Huseynli is an employee of the opposition newspaper Azadlig and a few years ago received political asylum and citizenship in the Netherlands. Huseynli was detained on October 14, 2017 when flying from Kiev to Dusseldorf on the basis of Azerbaijan's request through Interpol. In Azerbaijan he is accused of fraud and illegal crossing of borders. On October 18, 2017 Borispol City Court of Ukraine arrested him for 18 days to consider the issue of his extradition to Azerbaijan.
On October 27, Lukyanovka Court of Kiev freed Huseynli on bail of Verkhovna Rada deputy Mykola Kniazhitsky and public figure Boris Zakharov. At the same time, the court rejected the state prosecutor's request to extradite Huseynli to Azerbaijan. The Kiev prosecutor's office filed an appeal against the release of Huseynli, demanding his arrest. The trial began on January 17, but was postponed four times. Finally, on February 13, the court refused extradition. -03B06--
