On Monday, the Sabunchu district court presided by Samir Aliyev held a preliminary hearing on the case of the theologian Taleh Baghirzadeh (Baghirov), accused of illegal possession of drugs.
According to the attorney Javad Javadov, who talked to Turan, he put forward a motion to change the arrest for house arrest and to exclude several proofs from the records. However, the judge rejected the request and ordered the trial for Oct. 28.
During the trial outside the court, believers held a rally in support of Baghirzadeh, chanting religious slogans.
Baghirzadeh rejected the accusation and said the criminal charges are trumped up for political reasons.
According to the Interior Ministry, Baghirzadeh was arrested along with his driver Anar Melikov on March 31. The theologian was allegedly seized 1,026 grams of heroin, while Melikov was confiscated a gun Makarov, 4 cartridges and a knife.
The Melikov case was allocated to a separate proceeding, and on 7 August, he was sentenced to a year and 7 months in prison. -16B06-

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
