Consideration of appeal of Taleh Hasmamedov is postponed again
Consideration of the appeal of the defender Taleh Hasmamedov, scheduled for today in Shirvan Court of Appeal, was postponed for October 9, according to a public defender, co-founder of the NGO "Azerbaijan has no political prisoners," Oktay Gyulalyev.
The judge said that under the new rules, notice of the court is enough for the delivery of the arrested to the court, and requires a special solution. Gyulalyev described the judge's actions as a violation of the law, because the relatives and lawyer of the arrested were not informed about it.
Gyulalyev drew attention to the unreasonable delay in the consideration of the appeal. The first meeting in Shirvan Court of Appeal took place on 10 July, and then the trial was suspended for two months.
The political nature of the persecution of Hasmamedov was recognized at the international level, said Gyulalyev. So, the International organization Amnesty International called on to release the human rights activist. In addition, he was included the list of political prisoners
drawn up by the rapporteur of PACE Christopher Strasser.
* Khasmamedov was arrested in November 2011 and was sentenced on April 20 by Goychay Court to four years of imprisonment under the Article 221.3 (hooliganism) and 315.1 (providing resistance to the police.)
Khasmamedov believes that the charges against him were fabricated by the leadership of Ujar police. The reason for this has become the protection of the right of the journalist Fuad Huseynov, who was also convicted on trumped-up charges for the publication about the links of the local police with the criminal syndicate involved in drug trafficking and human trafficking.–06B--
