On June 23, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) announced five decisions on complaints from Azerbaijan. Four of the decisions were announced based on an amicable settlement. The government must pay more than 20,000 euros in compensation for the decisions.

Fikret Ibishbeyli's complaint against Azerbaijan is related to the pre-trial detention of the applicant, who is a journalist. The applicant argued before the ECHR that his pre-trial detention violated his liberty and security rights. The ECtHR found the applicant's claim well-founded and ruled that his pre-trial detention for 11 months and 14 days violated the applicant's rights under Article 5.3 (right to liberty and security) of the Convention. According to the decision, the government must pay the applicant 3,500 euros in compensation.

The head of Jam.az, Ibishbeyli, was sentenced in July 2016 to 7 years in prison on extortion charges (Article 182 of the Criminal Code). The Supreme Court later reduced the sentence. He was pardoned on March 16, 2019, by a presidential decree.

The other four ECHR decisions were reached based on amicable settlements between the parties. These are the cases of Natig Isbatov, Ulviya Karimova, Gadir Mahmudov, and Khvorova against Azerbaijan.

Natig Isbatov's case against Azerbaijan is related to the applicant's ban on leaving the country. The parties agreed amicably that the applicant must be paid 6,000 euros.

Ulviya Karimova's case against Azerbaijan is related to her failure to implement the decisions of internal courts. The applicant was sentenced to two years' imprisonment under Article 306.1 of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan (failure to execute a judgment, decision, or other act of a court) and to withholding 10 percent of his salary. Karimova argued for the violation of the right to a fair trial. In this case, the parties agreed amicably, and the government will pay the applicant 4,100 euros.

Gadir Mahmudov's case against Azerbaijan, as in Karimova's case, is connected with the punishment for non-execution of the court decision. It refers to the administrative detention of the applicant for various periods. He claimed that the judgments against the applicant violated the right to a fair trial. According to the settlement between the parties, the government will pay the applicant 4,100 euros.

The case of Khvorova's non-execution of the court decision against Azerbaijan also ended in another amicable settlement. Under the settlement, the government must pay the applicant 3,850 euros.
