Azerbaijan: Prosecutors Complete Investigation Into Case of Jailed Journalist Khadija Ismayilova

23:01, June 24, 2015

The criminal investigation into the case of jailed investigative journalist Khadija Ismayilova has been completed by Azerbaijani prosecutors.

 

Ismayilova has been held in pre-trial detention since her arrest last December when a court ruled to hold her for two months pending inquiries by the authorities.

Her detention has since been extended a number of times. According to Azerbaijani press, the Sabail District Prosecutor’s office has finally completed its probe into the allegation that Ismayilova incited an acquaintance to attempt suicide.

The development means that her lawyers will now have access to the authorities' evidence against her.
