Additional information:

Lawyer Nazim Musayev was not allowed to defend Meydan TV journalist Khayala Agayeva. As the lawyer told journalists, an officer with the rank of captain who introduced himself as investigator Nahid Abbasly, escorted him to the office where the journalist was. He first took a photo of the lawyer's warrant. When they entered the office, he then sent the photo of the warrant to someone. After that, he told the lawyer that his warrant allegedly had "not today's date" and did not allow Musayev to defend Khayala Agayeva. Musayev assessed the actions of the investigator as "arbitrariness".
