Baku / 24.10.17 / Turan: Today in the Baku Grave Crimes Court, under the chairmanship of Judge Mirzali Khankishiyev, a regular meeting was held on the case of Aziz Orujov, the director of Internet TV Kanal 13. The hearings of the testimony of the witnesses were continued.
The accountant for Kanal 13, Kubra Mammadova, said she also collaborated with the Caucasus Center for Media Research. She noted that in none of these bodies she had ever faced with facts of tax evasion and she had always prevented such violations herself.
Mammadova led bookkeeping in these bodies since 2009 and, depending on the projects, she received 100-150 manat per month for her work.
The head of the organization for the protection of monuments of history and culture in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan Faig Ismayilov also noted that he participated in the projects of the Caucasus Media Research Center.
The trial session will be continued on November 3.
Aziz Orujov was arrested on May 2 in administrative order for 30 days for disobeying the police. At the end of this period, he was charged with criminal charges under Articles 192.2.2 (Illegal Business with the Extraction of Large Income) and 308.2 (Abuse of Official Powers, which Entailed Grave Consequences) of the Criminal Code.
He rejected all the charges. Human rights organizations recognize the journalist as a political prisoner. -06D-
