"Musavat" party issued a statement strongly condemning the prosecutor who asked a conviction for NIDA activists, and deprive them of their liberty for long periods from 6.5 to 8.5 years. In his final speech the prosecutor "repeated false statements to investigators, without evidence," noted the statement of "Musavat".
The prosecutor even "forgot" that even according to the investigation, crime incriminated young people were at the stage of "preparation."
The trial revealed the innocence of young people, because it was the testimonies of perjurers were false, and documents were falsified. The vast majority of the defense motions were rejected.
"Musavat" party believes that, despite all that the prosecutor's demand to sentence the young people to severe punishment, shows that justice works in Azerbaijan by a political order.
"Musavat" calls on the authorities to stop the persecution of citizens for political reasons, and to release all political prisoners.—0--
