Baku/26.01.22/Turan: The first meeting of the Committee to Protect the Rights of the Chairman of the Citizens and Development Party Ali Aliyev, who was arrested for 5 months, was held on January 24. A statement by the Defense Committee was then released. This statement puts forward a demand “to immediately recognize the right of the chairman of the Citizen and Development Party Ali Aliyev to conditional and constitutional freedoms, to decriminalize the norms criminalizing defamation and insult, and to stop persecution for words, opinions, opinions and assumptions.”
What can the Defense Committee do to release Ali Aliyev?
Member of the Committee to protect the Rights of Ali Aliyeva, Deputy Chairman of the Citizens and Development Party Zaur Gasimov and lawyer Javad Javadov share their opinions on this in the program "Difficult Question".
According to lawyer Javad Javadov, Ali Aliyev's defense will be carried out exclusively by legal methods. An appeal has already been filed. “The trial of Ali Aliyev was not objectively fair and impartial, during the process his procedural rights were violated. We are now awaiting the appointment of a date for the consideration of this case by the Court of Appeal,” he said.
According to Zaur Gasimov, deputy chairman of the Citizens and Development Party, as the first step to protect Ali Aliyev, the Committee will accept an appeal to the country's public and international organizations, diplomatic missions of foreign countries in Azerbaijan, etc.
The decision on what the next steps will be will be made after the verdict of the Court of Appeal. According to Zaur Gasimov, Ali Aliyev's interview, in which he doubted that there could have been survivors in the crashed Mi-17 helicopter of the State Border Service (SBS) in the territory of Khizi, is just an excuse to persecute Ali Aliyev.
"The persecution has political motives, in particular, the authorities were irritated by the fierce criticism of the leader of the Citizens' Party and the Development of the Activities of the Authorities," Gasimov is convinced.—0—
