Baku Court Remands Sputnik Azerbaijan Journalists in Custody, Sputnik's Office Says
"Today, a Baku court has considered the appeals of the lawyers of our colleagues Igor Kartavykh and Yevgeny Belousov to change the preventive measure. Unfortunately, the lawyers' appeals were rejected. And the decision of the court of first instance on the election of a preventive measure in the form of arrest remained in force. Our colleagues remain in custody," the statement said.
On June 30, the Azerbaijani authorities groundlessly detained seven people at Sputnik Azerbaijan (part of the Rossiya Segodnya media group).
The Rossiya Segodnya media group considers the actions of the Azerbaijani security forces unwarranted and the accusations far-fetched. The functioning of the editorial office is blocked, neither consular staff nor relatives are allowed to see the detainees.
