The Baku Appellate Court has received a claim of Azadlyg newspaper correspondent Mirza Sakit against the decision of the Narimanov district court, said defender Isakhan Ashurov.
He said the claim states the need to pass a decision about early release of Mirza Sakit.
"The case has not yet been taken for consideration", noted Ashurov.
Notably, on December 29 of 2008 Narimanov district judge Elshana Veliyeva decided to dismiss Sakit's request about early release. The court explained the decision by saying that the journalist did not recognize himself guilty.
Notably, Azadlyg newspaper correspondent was arrested on June 23 of 2006. During the arrest the police found 10 grams of heroince on him after which the court of grave crimes sentenced him to 3 years in prison. Currently, the journalist has to serve six months in prison before release.
