Consideration of Ali Karimli's Lawsuit against Ministry of Internal Affairs Postponed Indefinitely
Baku / 07.02.20 / Turan: The hearing scheduled for February 6 in the Baku Administrative Court on the lawsuit by the leader of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan Ali Karimli against the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been postponed indefinitely.
The reason for this was not the submission to the court of a notarized power of attorney of the plaintiff's lawyer.
This was confirmed by the plaintiff’s lawyer Fakhraddin Mehdiyev.
The representative of the defendant Alirza Abilov said the parties will be notified of the next date of the proceedings.
The leader of the Popular Front Party (PFPA) Ali Karimli sued the Ministry of Internal Affairs because of the refusal to issue him a passport for 14 years.
Since 2006, Karimli has not been issued a passport under the pretext that in 1994 a criminal case was instituted against him, which has not yet been closed. Although after that he was twice elected as a deputy of the parliament, and he repeatedly received a passport, including 2 times a diplomatic one.
In 2015, the ECtHR found a violation in respect of Karimli, Article 2 of the 2nd Protocol of the European Convention (freedom of movement), and the government did not appeal to the Grand Chamber of the Strasbourg Court.
Karimli asks the administrative court to oblige the Ministry of Internal Affairs to issue him a passport. The case will be examined by Judge Elvin Aliyev -16D-
