While Nazim’s lawyers have submitted this inquiry to the Civil Court and the HRCM, Nazim has requested the PG’s office to have his trial in open court.

The former Defense Minister was charged with possession of a firearm after his arrest with a pistol and three bullets. The Criminal Court has decided to keep Nazim in police custody for the length of his trail.
