Baku/03.02.21/Turan: On March 2, the Sheki Court of Appeal sentenced bloggers and activists Elchin Hasanzade and Ibrahim Turksoy to 8 months in prison on charges of libel and insult. Both were arrested in the courtroom.

The lawsuit was filed as a private criminal charge by the head of the city housing and maintenance department, Shahriyar Mustafayev. He demanded that Hasanov be brought under the Articles of the Criminal Code 147.1. (libel) and 148 (insult).

The reason for the lawsuit is critical publications about the official in social networks. Earlier, Mustafayev was evicted from a rented apartment for criticizing the leadership of the city of Mingachevir.

The Mingachevir court earlier sentenced both to a year of correctional labor. The bloggers appealed the verdict, but the appellate court upheld the verdict, only shortening the term.

Hasanzade was also involved in human rights activities, and in the past was the deputy of the newspaper “Yukselish Namine” published in Sumgayit. - 06D-
