APA reports that employee of the Radio Liberty Ulker Guliyeva gave testimony at the hearing presided over by judge Ramella Allahverdiyeva.
Due to the absence of other employee of the radio Farid Abdullayev at the hearing, his testimony given to the preliminary investigation was read out.
At the hearing, Khadija Ismayilova’s lawyers filed petitions for lawyer Adil Ismayilov's giving testimony at the hearing as a representative of the Radio Liberty, hearing the testimony of representatives of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies and National Television and Radio Council and the e-mail that the aggrieved Tural Mustafayev addressed to Coordinator of Baku Bureau of the Radio Liberty Babek Beshir on his dismissal being included in the list of evidence.
The court rejected the petitions.
Khadija Ismayilova objected to the hearing’s being held every day and asked the court to create condition for her to meet with her lawyers. The court considered Kh.Ismayilova’s request.
The hearing was paused until Aug.14.
The Prosecutor General’s Office issued a statement on the arrest of Khadija Ismayilova that the Sabail District Prosecutor’s Office has launched a criminal case under the Criminal Code’s article #125 (bringing to suicide) regarding Tural Mustafayev, a reporter for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Meydan TV Television and Radio Company, for making a suicide attempt by swallowing zinc oxide in Seaside Park on October 20.
T. Mustafayev appealed to the General Prosecutor’s Office to ask for measures against Khadija Ismayilova, with whom he had close relationship for a long time, for bringing him to suicide by prosecuting and exerting pressure on him, insulting his honor and dignity throughout the period he worked there.
The investigation also revealed that Mustafayev attempted to commit suicide on 1 May 2014 by hanging himself with buttonhole made by bed-sheet in the apartment which he rented as Khadija was threatening him. But due to a reason independent on him, he couldn’t fulfill his intention.
On December 5, the Sabail District Court sentenced Khadija Ismayilova to two-month pre-trial detention. The term was extended for several times.
Then, an investigative authority has brought new charges against Khadija Ismayilova under the Criminal Code’s articles 179.3.2 (assignment or waste in large size), 192.2.2 (illegal business), 213.1 (tax evasion) and 308.2 (abuse of official powers).
