Usually skimp on providing even the most general information about the investigation of criminal cases, the investigating authorities of Azerbaijan have shown to be extremely prompt, passing on Saturday night the broadcast television "confession" of the NIDA activists arrested two days before.
Approximately a five-minute story showed the footage of the interrogation of Bakhtiyar Guliyev and Shahin Novruzlu accused by the Attorney General and the Ministry of National Security of the illegal possession of drugs and explosives. Periodically, they were asked questions by the investigator. There was no evidence of the presence of lawyers there.
Both young men "recognized" that in their homes they actually kept bottles with "Molotov cocktails" and drugs. It was unclear from the story from where drugs had come to Guliyev. But Novruzlu said that he took them from Guliyev. The footage periodically muffled voices of the activists, when they seemed to mention others. They only mentioned the name of the activist of NIDA Kenan Gasimli, who, according to Novruzlu, invited him to the movement after meeting through Facebook.
Guliyev gave evidence that they were prepared by NIDA to provide "violent resistance to police, and a coup."
Novruzlu claimed that the drugs and "Molotov cocktails" were to be distributed to the youth during the protest in Fountain Square on March 10.
The third person involved, Mohammad Azizov said that because the ordinary rallies do not give effect, the movement decided to use "Molotov cocktails."
Judging from the plot line, the authority decided to fully discredit the NIDA movement, whose members have been active during all the protests of the last two years; so in the next few days we should expect more arrests.
Earlier, the parents of the arrested said that drugs and "Molotov cocktails" were brought to their homes by the searching officers themselves.
The lawyer Alasgar Mammadli, commenting on the TV footage on his Facebook page, said that the TV show of the interrogation of the accused youths was a violation of their presumption of innocence. -06D—
