Baku. Shahriyar Alizadeh - APA. Today, the Supreme Court has postponed Eynulla Fatullayevâ€™s cassation appeal from the decision of Baku Appeal Court, his father Emin Fatullayev told APA. The reason of the postponement is lawyersâ€™ absence at the trial. The hearing has been postponed on December 28.

Remind that, Editor-in-chief of Gundalik Azerbayjan and Realny Azerbayjan newspapers Eynulla Fatullayev was arrested by the decision of Yasamal district court on April 20, 2007. He was accused of insulting Khojaly residents in his series of articles â€œKarabakh diaryâ€ and sentenced to two-and-a-half-year imprisonment. Later, he faced additional charges and sentenced to eight-and-a-half-year imprisonment on October 30, 2007.

0.223g heroin was found on Eynulla Fatullayev in jail #12 on December 30, 2009. He faced charges under Article 234.1 (illegal purchase or storage without a purpose of selling of narcotics or psychotropic substances in a quantity (amount) exceeding necessary for personal consumption) of the Criminal Code.

European Court of Human Rights passed decisions on other cases related to Fatullayev.

On November 5, Baku Appeal Court passed a decision on pre-trial restrictions of Fatullayev again.
