She said Naghi acted like some state officials act towards journalists, criticizing them.

Chairman of the Association of the Protection of Women's Rights of Dilara Aliyeva Novella Cafaroghlu said that human rights activists are shocked.

"The demonstration of intolerance to what the journalist wrote is an indicator of the low intellectual level of a person", said Cafaroghklu.

Head of the Bureau of Human Rights and legality observation Saida Gojamanly announced that Naghi must be punished for his actions.

"The law enforcement bodies must take measures due to beating of the journalist. This is not merely a fight. Naghi came to him with several people who held Zamin Hajili for Naghi to be able to beat him. On the whole, Naghi demonstrated his weakness", said Gojamanly.
