The journalists were remanded in custody for 4 months while the investigation continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 8 December, a trial was held in the Khatai District Court of Baku on a criminal case filed against Meydan TV employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the court remanded the journalists in custody for 4 months while the investigation continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 6 December, Meydan TV employees Ramin Deko (Jabrailzade), Aynur Elgunesh (Ganbarova), Aysel Umudova, Aytaj Tapdig (Ahmadova), Khayala Agayeva, and Natig Javadli were detained on suspicion of \u201csmuggling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A crime was filed against the journalists under Article 206.3.2 of the Criminal Code (smuggling committed by a group of persons in prior collusion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The homes of most of the detained journalists were searched, and their equipment and personal belongings were seized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court also sentenced another detainee, civil society member and media worker Ulvi Tahirov, who was not a Meydan TV employee but was detained on the same day as them, to 4 months in pretrial detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meydan TV management issued a statement<\/a>, noting that the charges made by the police are unfounded and that the detention of the journalists is illegal and is also a repression against independent media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since November 2023, dozens of journalists have been arrested<\/a> in Azerbaijan on charges of \u201csmuggling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local and international<\/a> human rights organizations consider the charges trumped up and call for the journalists\u2019 immediate release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
