A Doctor from the Baku detention facility, two weeks after urgent appeals were made, examined civil society activist Ilham Amiraslanov, who is under arrest at this institution. The medical examination confirmed the presence of health problems, and the need for treatment.
A resident of the village of Askerbeyli in the Sabirabad region, Ilham Amirasalanov, was arrested on June 8 on trumped-up charges of possession of firearms.
When arrested, he was tortured in Sabirabad by the local police and the Office for Combating Organized Crime of the Interior Ministry.
Amiraslanov still complains of pain and discomfort. It seems that as a result of the beatings he has a broken eardrum, said lawyer Samir Isayev.
The headquarters of civil society "Kura", of which Amiraslanov is a member, will send a letter today to the Chief Medical Office of the Justice Ministry calling on him to give Amiraslanov immediate relief. Amiraslanov will pass the same application to physicians.
On June 25 a coalition of international human rights organizations demanded the immediate and unconditional release of Ilham Amiraslanov, and requested a prompt and thorough investigation of complaints of torture in the police office.—0—

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
