The prosecutor offered to condemn P. Hashimli to nine years in prison

At the trial in the case of  journalist Parviz Hashimli  prosecutor   made a closing speech. The prosecutor offered to find Hashimli and second defendant in the case, Tavakkul Gurbanov, guilty on all three Articles: 206.3.2 (smuggling by prior agreement);
