November 22, 2025
Orhan Asadov, a 42-year-old Azerbaijani, was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison for conspiracy to murder five individuals, which he admitted to. What initially seemed like a case of terrorism turned into a conspiracy for a criminal act. The court found no evidence of religious motives in its decision. Asadov is expected to be released in 2026, and there may be a possibility of his deportation. The trial was held behind closed doors for national security reasons.
