Baku / 05.04.18 / Turan: The Supreme Court chaired by Ali Seyfaliyev decided to release the journalist Aziz Orujov, CEO of the Internet TV channel Canal 13, who was sentenced to 6 years of imprisonment.
As the lawyer Javad Javadov told Turan, the court dismissed Orujov's charge under Article 192.2.2 (illegal entrepreneurship) considering that there were no crimes in the journalist's acts.
And the charge under Article 308.2 (abuse of official powers, entailing grave consequences) was re-qualified for a softer article - 308.1.
At the same time, the term of his punishment was reduced to 3 years of imprisonment, and immediately the court applied article 70 of the Criminal Code - on the application of a suspended sentence with a probation period of three years and ordered the release of the journalist from custody.
According to the lawyer, within the next few hours the journalist will be released. The day before Orujov was placed in the clinic of Prison No. 14.
Recall that Aziz Orujov was arrested in May 2017 and convicted on December 15, 2017. He did not plead guilty.
Human rights organizations recognized him as a political prisoner. -03B06--

In the annals of Azerbaijan's oil-rich history, the name Witold Zglenicki may not readily come to mind, yet his contributions to the burgeoning oil industry of the late 19th and early 20th centuries are profound and enduring. As the Polish Embassy in Azerbaijan recently commemorated his legacy on April 22 with the presentation of a book detailing his remarkable life, questions arise about why this towering figure remains largely overlooked in the streets and monuments of Baku.
