    Today the Baku court sentenced the chief editor of "Khural" newspaper
    Avaz Zeynalli to 9 years of imprisonment. According to several local
    newspapers, after the announcement of the sentence the people in the
    hall were shouting "Liberty". The international organizations and many
    local NGOs believe that he was arrested because of his professional
    activities, in particular for publishing articles about the illegal
    actions of the high ranking officials.

    Avaz Zeynalli was arrested based on the claim of the MP Gyulnar
    Ahmedova, who is also arrested based on the article of fraud of
    Azerbaijani Criminal Code.

    During the trail the journalist rejected the guild completely and
    said that he is arrested based on the order of the head of I.Aliev
    administration Ramiz Mehtiev and the head of civil-political unit
    Ali Hasanov.

    The court announced him guild for large-scale bribery, extortion
    with threat, for disobedience to the court, for evasion of taxes,
    which are gross violations of Azerbaijani Criminal Code.
