The lawyers of Ilqar Nasibov, the regional correspondent
of Radio Liberty in ****hchivan appealed to the European
Court of Human Rights. The lawyer of journalist consider
the verdict made on the basis of the lawsuit of Sabuhi
Novruzov, head of the ****hchivan Police Department
controversy to the law.
Ilqar Nasibov and his wife Malahat Nasibova have been
subjected to pressures and insults by the police because
of their media re****t about the demolition of one of the
trade centres in ****hchivan.
Nasibov also sent an e-mail appeal to the Azerbaijani
President's official website. Following this letter Sabuhi
Novruzov, the head of Police Department appealed the
****hchivan Public Prosecutor's Office to bring an action
against the case, considering the facts mentioned as
slander. The Public Prosecutor's Office sent the lawsuit
to the court, which sentenced 3-month imprisonment of
Nasibov in accordance with Article 147 of the Criminal
Code.
Nasibov's appeal was not fulfilled. Taking into consideration
Novruzov's recall of his appeal, the court decided to stop
the execution.
Meanwhile, lawyers think that the sentence made on Novruzov's
accusations violates Nasibov's rights for freedom of expression
(Article 10) and fair investigation (Article 6), specified in the
Convention of Human Rights. The appeal to the European
Court of Human Rights requests to recognize the violation
of Nasibov's rights and to compensate for moral damage.

Humvees, or calls in air-strikes. It doesn't have a high command, or
high security, or a high budget. The army that can defeat terrorism
does battle quietly, clearing minefields and vaccinating children. It
undermines military dictator****ps and military lobbyists. It subverts
sweatshops and special interests.Where people feel powerless, it
helps them organize for change, and where people are powerful, it
reminds them of their responsibility." ~~~~ Author Unknown ~~~~
