Lapshin allowed to speak to family by phone
Russian-Israeli blogger Alexander Lapshin, who is under arrest in Baku is provided with an opportunity to communicate with him family by phone, Lapshin’s lawyer Eduard Chernin said on Monday, March 6.
There’s no change in Lapshin’s case, he said, adding that it is still unknown when the trial will start.
“I have nothing to say on the issue,” Chernin said.
Lapshin divides his time between Israel and a few other places. He was arrested on December 15 in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, at the request of Azeri authorities who demanded his extradition.
Lapshin was arrested following his visits to Karabakh as well as due to critical posts in his Russian-language blog against Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
