YEREVAN. -- The Supreme Court of Belarus on Tuesday rejected the complaints filed in the case of blogger Alexander Lapshin.

The complaint on behalf of Lapshin and on behalf of his lawyers was filed on Monday. It took only several hours to deliver a verdict, which indicates the bias of the court.

“The Supreme Court confirmed the decision of the previous instance. Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen,” Lapshin’s lawyer told Armenian News - NEWS.am.

According to her, the decision will enter into force from the date of announcement, and theoretically the extradition of Alexander Lapshin is possible even today.

After his visits to Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) in 2011 and 2012, famous blogger Alexander Lapshin was “blacklisted” by Azerbaijan.

In June 2016, however, he paid a visit to Azerbaijan, but with a Ukrainian passport. Subsequently, he issued several articles criticizing the Azerbaijani authorities. Afterward, the Azerbaijani authorities issued an international search for this famous blogger.

On December 15, 2016, he was detained in the Belarus capital city of Minsk, and based on this international search.

Baku demands his extradition to Azerbaijan, and for visiting Artsakh.
