By Samir Ali – Trend:

The Baku Court of Appeal has considered the appeal regarding the decision to ban journalist Khadija Ismayilova from leaving Azerbaijan.

At a hearing held under the chairmanship of Vagif Mursagulov, the court didn’t satisfy her complaint and left in power the decision of the court of the first instance.

Earlier, Khadija Ismayilova appealed to the Baku City Binagadi District Court in connection with the lifting of the ban on her leaving Azerbaijan. The court didn’t satisfy her complaint. Then Ismayilova filed an appeal against this decision.

In December 2014, the Baku Court of Grave Crimes sentenced Khadija Ismayilova to 7.5 years in prison.

She was charged for misappropriation and embezzlement, illegal entrepreneurship, tax evasion and abuse of official duties.

Ismayilova's lawyers then filed a cassation appeal against the decision.

The Supreme Court of Azerbaijan made a decision on May 25, 2016 to release Ismayilova.

The Supreme Court sentenced her to conditional imprisonment term of three years and six months.
