The journalist faces up to seven years of imprisonment. Aziz Orudjev is included in the list of political prisoners of the Azerbaijani Centre for the Protection of Political Prisoners.

"Since on June 2, the day of his placement to the SIZO, Aziz Orudjev is deprived in violation of the law of visits and telephone conversations with his family members," stated the advocate.
