Trial in the trial in the "case Nardaran-3"

Trial in the case of theologian Zulfugar Mikailova  and 10 other believers, accused of trying to violent change of the constitutional order, terrorism and other serious crimes continued in the Baku  Serious Crimes Court. The trial is called  the "Nardaran case-3" because this is the third group of detainees accused in the organization of the Islamic movement in Nardaran.

At the trial presided over by  the judge Zeynal Agayev today  gave  testimony  the accused Mehman Mammadov, resident of the village of Nardaran.  He denied the charges and said that he is not a member of the movement "Muslim unity".

Mammadov said that the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime offered  him a deal: either to speak against  the  leader of the movement "Muslim unity" Thale Bagirzade and his assistant Abbas Huseynov that he  had got from them the weapons; in such case they  would promise to be  involved in the case as  a witness, or he will be  accused under 10 Articles. Mamedov chose the latter.

The defendants were arrested after the special operation in the village of Nardaran on November 26th 2015; they  are accused under the same  Articles as the leader, as well as activists of the movement "Muslim unity" Thale Bagirzade. The next court session is scheduled for 6 March. -36C-
