The Yasamal district court chaired by Azer Tagiyev continued the trial on the claim of Nuria Huseynova, the former cellmate of Leyla Yunus, against a lawyer Alaif Hasanov.
The lawyer unveiled facts of physical pressure by Huseynova on Yunus in prison where they were kept together. His report was published in the newspaper "Azadlig" on September 17, 2014. After this Huseynova "was offended" that the lawyer called her "a criminal."
Later on the name of Ganimat Zahid, the chief editor of the newspaper "Azadlig", was also included the claim, but then Huseynova changed her mind to offend him. At the trial on November 5 Hasanov asked for passing the case to the Court of Zardab region the place of his residence.
A lawyer also presented a certificate that he is a member of the district election commission in 92-nd Zardab District. The law limits the possibility of criminal liability for the members of the election commission, and this requires the resolution of the prosecutor.
Lawyer Cavad Cavadov supported petitions to refer the case to the court of Zardob district. However, the judge Tagiyev disagreed with this, stating that the request to transfer the case to the Court of Zardab had been considered.
Then Alaif Hasanov said that he is persecuted for the statements not belonging to him. Noting that "Azadlig" newspaper has used his status in facebook, and added his comments. At the same time, the editors presented to the court official document confirming it all. " They simply want to convict me by any way, and want to do it in the Yasamal court," said Hasanov.

Then Alaif Hasanov rejected all members of the Yasamal District Court. However, withdrawal was not accepted. The next trial was scheduled for 6 November.-06D-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
