The Khatai District Court in Azerbaijan held a trial on Sunday of the six journalists detained Saturday in Baku on smuggling charges. Five of the six reporters, Natig Javadli, Khayala Aghayeva, Aytaj Tapdig, Aynur Elgunesh, and Aysel Umudova work with the Berlin-based independent media outlet Meydan TV. The sixth person is an independent journalist. The Azerbaijani interior ministry justified the arrest in a statement to a pro-government news outlet, accusing them of illegally importing foreign currency.
