One of the arrested activists of NIDA Mahammad Azizov filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the channel AzTv.
According to his lawyer Fariz Namazly, the young man asks the court to declare it a violation of the presumption of innocence and the payment of monetary compensation for moral damages in the amount of 10,000 manat.
According to the lawyer, Azizov accused of drug possession was forced to confess under psychological pressure in DHS prison and the videos of the interrogations were shown on TV, including AzTv. In this case, the young man was introduced as a drug addict.
