Baku/12.11.19/Turan: Gulmira Aslanova, the spouse of the arrested journalist Polad Aslanov, announced a biased investigation in the case of her husband.
On her Facebook page, she writes that people, who are not involved in the case, including the journalist’s former neighbors, are being summoned to the investigation.
“They are told that I and Polad told their names to the investigation. However, there was nothing of the kind,” notes Aslanova. According to her, the investigation forces the people to testify against the journalist.
“I ask that people go to the interrogation only with their lawyers, and tell the truth. At the end of the investigation, I will publish the names of journalists and other persons who gave false testimony against Polad,”writes Aslanova.
She also told about the search in the house of the akhund of the Tovba Mosque in Gazakh under the pretext that Aslanov allegedly mentioned his name during the investigation.
“Akhund was asked about Polad’s activities. However, they only met twice, and one day by telephone, Akhund asked to make public the fact of pressure on him by the district authorities and the fact that he was once put in a psychiatric hospital by the order of the authorities.
* Polad Aslanov, the editor of the site xeberman.com, was detained on June 12, and the next day the court arrested him for 4 months under the Article 274 (treason) of the Criminal Code. The investigation is conducted by the State Security Service.
On October 5, the period of the arrest of the journalist was extended for another 4 months. Local and international organizations condemned the criminal prosecution of Aslanov, believing that the real reason for the arrest of Aslanov is his journalistic activities. -06B-

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
