Former Health Minister, Ali Insanov, who is serving his term in prison, expressed his support for the presidential candidate, a representative of the National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDF) Jamil Hasanli.
"In the presidential election on October 9 I call to support the candidate nominated by the National Council of Democratic Forces, Professor Jamil Hasanli, whom I've been known since 1990. It is the candidate not only of the National Council, but also all people dissatisfied with the Aliyev regime. I therefore call on the Azerbaijani people to vote for Jamil Hasanli," reads the statement by Insanov passed to Turan agency by his lawyer, Togrul Babayev.
Insanov was arrested in October 2005 on charges of attempting state coup. He was subsequently sentenced to 11 years in prison for economic crimes. The verdict of the European Court of Human Rights on violations of Insanov’s rights by the courts of Azerbaijan came into force on June 10.—06D--
