 The judicial investigation of the Azerbaijani journalist continues. The Supreme Court returned the case of Abid Gafarov, the head of the YouTube channel, Kim, who was arrested last year, to the Court of Appeal, the lawyer Agil Lej said. Gafarov was sentenced by the decision of the Yasamal District Court to a year in prison on charges of slander and insult. Articles 147 and 148 of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan. In particular, the Court found him guilty of insulting veterans of the Karabakh War. The Court of Appeal upheld this verdict. Gafarov denied the accusations and stated that he was being persecuted for political reasons for publicizing the torture of the defendants in the Tertar case. Lawsuits against him were filed by a group of veterans of the Second Karabakh War. At first, there were seven veterans who complained, later four withdrew their complaints. The reason for the complaints was Gafarov's speech on the internet where he reproached the veterans that they boldly attacked the Armenians, but now they are not fighting for their rights. And out of hopelessness, they sew up their mouths, arrange self-immolation. True bravery is courage shown against a despot, and veterans behave submissively. Gafarov considers the accusation legally unfounded, but he did not name anyone personally. Nevertheless, the linguistic examination found slander and insult in Gafarov's statements. Human rights activists also consider the accusation against Gafarov unfounded. In their opinion, the pressure on Gafarov is because of his revelations of the facts of torture in the Tertar case.
