Ali Aliyev trial postponed for fourth time
Baku/05.04.22/Turan: Court hearing appointed for April 4 on the suit of Border Guard Service captain Ramin Adilov against the Civic Development Party (CDP) leader Aliyev, has been postponed for the fourth time.
Recall that Aliyev has already been imprisoned for 5 months on a similar complaint of another border guard Emil Jafarov.
On January 13, the Yasamal court of Baku found Aliyev guilty of libel. The reason for the lawsuit was Aliyev's interview where he questioned whether there could have been survivors in the crashed Mi-17 helicopter of the Border Guard Service. Jafarov and Adilov had survived the crash and regarded Aliyev's statement as slander.
In an appeal to the public, Aliyev drew attention to the fact that since January 13 his trial on the complaint of the second border guard was postponed for the 4th time, and now the session has been rescheduled for April 22.
"I understand that the postponement is a political and moral-psychological pressure on me," Aliyev said in his appeal to the public.
It can be assumed that Aliyev's second trial is deliberately delayed in order to hand down a sentence at the end of the first one and thus prolong his imprisonment.
In the first case his sentence expires on 13 May. The defence believes that it is nonsense to try Aliyev again for the same act. Lawyers have previously applied to merge the complaints into one case, but in vain.
The defence is convinced that it is inappropriate to punish Aliyev criminally at all for the allegations he has made, and this is contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights and the case law of the ECtHR.-B06-
