Baku. Hafiz Heydarov – APA. On July 2, Baku City Narimanov District Court sentenced Fikrat Faramazoglu, the editor-in-chief of jam.az news website, to a 3-month pretrial detention on charges of extortion, attorney Nemat Karimli told APA on July 4.
“According to the information available to us, the journalist is being held in the Interior Ministry’s Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime, but no official information is given in this regard. He will most likely be transferred to an investigation isolator today,” the attorney said.
Note that there had been lack of information about Faramazoglu since 30 June.
