Defenders of imprisoned editor-in-chief of the Azadlyg newspaper Ganimat Zahid are not able to file a claim to the European Court of human rights, said general director of the newspaper Azer Ahmedov.
He noted that 40 days have already passed since the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan passed a decision about consideration of the cassational claim of Zahid, but they have not yet received the copies of the verdict to file a claim to the European court.

"The claim to be filed to the European court will state the need to pass a verdict of not guilty regarding Zahid, institution of a criminal proceeding against those who ordered this case", noted Ahmedov.

He said that after they get the verdict they will file a claim to the European court right away.
