The piece is the first in a series of investigative reports about the ruling family\u2019s business interests, in the wake of the brutal murder of investigative reporter Elmar Huseynov in 2005.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Khadija\u2019s next investigation,<br \/>\n  <b><br \/>\n    <i><br \/>\n      Azerbaijani President&#8217;s Daughters Tied to Fast-Rising Telecoms Firm<br \/>\n    <\/i><br \/>\n  <\/b><br \/>\n  \u00a0resonates powerfully once again within the local community.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  A little while later, when Khadija Ismayil is out of the country for work, secret cameras are installed at her apartment. Khadija continues to work on her investigative stories and in 2012, on March 7, she receives a letter at her home address. In the envelope, the journalist finds pictures of an intimate nature and a warning letter, demanding that she cease all her investigative work. Unless she stops, warns the anonymous letter, the pictures and footage will go public.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Khadija will not be cowed. In an open letter published on Facebook, she says she will continue her work. A few days later, the video footage of her is circulated across social media platforms.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In 2012, three more stories, investigated by Khadija in partnership with other investigative journalists, are published.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <b><br \/>\n    <i><br \/>\n      Azerbaijan&#8217;s President Awarded Family Stake In Gold Fields<br \/>\n    <\/i><br \/>\n  <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <b><br \/>\n    <i><br \/>\n      Azerbaijani President&#8217;s Family Benefits From Eurovision Hall Construction<br \/>\n    <\/i><br \/>\n  <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <b><br \/>\n    <i><br \/>\n      Azeri Enclave In Czech Republic<br \/>\n    <\/i><br \/>\n  <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Following the publication of two articles titled<br \/>\n  <i><br \/>\n    The Secrets of Baku\u2019s Crystal Hall<br \/>\n  <\/i><br \/>\n  and<br \/>\n  <i><br \/>\n    Aliyev\u2019s share in gold mines<br \/>\n  <\/i><br \/>\n  , the Azerbaijani Parliament approves an amendment to legislation on the right to obtain information (June 1 2012). According to the new amendments, information about company founders is considered a commercial secret. Some legal experts view this change as part of Azerbaijan\u2019s transformation into an offshore haven.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In 2014, three more investigative stories by Khadija are published:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <b><br \/>\n    <i><br \/>\n      \u00a0Arzu Aliyeva selling her Czech based company to an Azerbaijani civil servant<br \/>\n    <\/i><br \/>\n  <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <b><br \/>\n    <i><br \/>\n      \u00a0What you didn\u2019t know about Pasha Holding<br \/>\n    <\/i><br \/>\n  <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <b><br \/>\n    <i><br \/>\n      Among Azercell shareholders offshore companies belonging to Aliyev daughters<br \/>\n    <\/i><br \/>\n  <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Following these investigative stories, a criminal case is opened against Khadija Ismayil based on complaints by Elman Hasanov (Turkoglu). Hasanov accuses Khadija of slander, relating to her claim that he was working for the government. Hasanov took this as a personal insult. In the meantime, the Prosecutor Office accuses Khadija of treason: specifically, the dissemination of state secrets.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  On December 5, 2014 Khadija Ismayil is\u00a0arrested following an indictment by the Baku City Prosecutor\u2019s Office, at the Sabail District Court. She is charged under Article 125 of the Criminal Code (incitement to suicide)<br \/>\n  <b><br \/>\n    .<br \/>\n  <\/b>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This infographic illustrates the trajectory of Khadija Ismayil\u2019s career and arrest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":17143,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-166116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","infinite-scroll-item","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","no-featured-image-padding"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
