Nakhchivan City Court chaired by Mehman Allahverdiyev considered the claim by Farid Asgarov, the resident of Nakhchivan, against human rights activist Ilgar Nasibov.
Nasibov was brutally beaten in the office of the Resource Center on August 21 by Farid Askerov and people. He suffered multiple fractures and injuries. Only two weeks later, the police filed a lawsuit under the Article 127.1 (deliberate infliction of serious damage to health.) Despite the fact that I.Nasibov was beaten by several persons involved in the investigation, only one - Farid Askerov, filed a counter-claim.
On November 4 during the proceedings on beating Nasibov, Asgerov confessed and asked Ilgar Nasibov for mercy. Nasibov forgave him, and the case was dismissed.
Today a lawsuit against Nasibov was stopped, taking into account that Asgarov repented of his deed and withdraw his complaint against Nasibov.
The court also decided to withdraw from Nasibov a preventive measure "being under police surveillance." However, this decision will enter into force after 20 days.
The trial was observed by the representatives of the EU mission in Baku and the German Embassy in Azerbaijan
* Spouses and Ilgar and Malahat Nasibovs are engaged in active advocacy and journalistic activities in Nakhchivan. Local and international human rights organizations believe that the brutal beating of I.Nasibov is due to human rights activities of the spouses, which has long been exposing flagrant violations of human rights and freedoms in Nakhchivan. -03B06-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
