Azerbaijan, Baku, Nov. 20 / Trend News A.Huseynbala /
Azerbaijani Parliamentary Speaker Ogtay Asadov reproached international organizations for voicing unfounded criticism of a court decision to send young Azerbaijani bloggers to prison.
"International organizations are interfering in Azerbaijan's domestic affairs, not knowing the very essence of the issue of these people's arrest," Asadov told journalists today.
The Baku Sabayel District Court sentenced Emin Milli to two years and six months in prison and Adnan Hajizadeh to two years in prison Nov. 11.
According to official data, Milli, Abdullayev and five other people got drunk at a Lebanese restaurant at 6:00 p.m. July 9 and clashed with Vusal Mammadov and Babak Huseynov.
Milli and Hajizade were accused of Article 221.2.1 (On Hooliganism) and Article 127 (On Intentional Infliction of Minor Severe Bodily Harm) of the Criminal Code.
