"Tolishi Sedo" newspaper editor-in-chief arrested

The trial presided by Judge Svetlana Ismayilova passed decision to arrest Novruzeli Bayramov within 15 days. The journalist is accused of resisting the police.

Chief of Press Council Aflatun Amshov told the APA that "Tolishi Sedo" is one of the newspapers that have few editions or re not published anymore.

"We are concerned about exaggeration of journalism fact in such cases. It is possible to take stance on Novruzeli Mammadov's detention after clarifying whether it has relations with journalistic activity or there are other motives," he said.

Mammadov also works at Azerbaijani National Academy of Sciences.
