Court did not satisfy a petition of N. Jafarli on changing a restraint measure

On 6 September 2016 Baku’s Nasimi district court rejected the petition on commuting REAL Movement executive secretary Natig Jafarli’s pretrial detention to house arrest, attorney Javad Javadli told APA.

On 12 August 2016, Jafarli was called to the Investigation Department for Grave Crimes of the Prosecutor General’s Office. Then he was taken to Nasimi district court which sentenced him to four months’ pretrial detention.

Natig Jafarli is charged under Articles 192 (illegal business) and 308 (abusing official powers).
