Arrests of Activists Focused on Collapse of Civil Society
The Centre for Monitoring of Political Prisoners (CMPP) made a statement in connection with starting the trial of human rights defender Intigam Aliyev.
In the statement received by Turan, Aliyev's arrest, as well as arrest of other activists, is named part of the plan to the collapse of civil society.
Despite the serious health problems, Aliyev has not been released under house arrest. "Investigation of the case is accompanied by numerous violations. Monitoring investigation gives grounds to assert that the investigation is biased and criminal proceedings are of an ordered character," the statement says.
Arrest of Intigam Aliyev, Leyla Yunus, Arif Yunus and other prisoners of conscience is regarded as an integral part of the plan to destroy the civil society. CMPP expressed demand for the release of these persons and to conduct a transparent trial.
Intigam Aliyev was arrested on trumped up charges of illegal business, tax evasion and abuse of office. The true reason for his prosecution is his active advocacy and preparation of 200 complaints to the European Court of Human Rights.
* CMPP was established by a group of former prisoners of conscience in the autumn of 2014. -06B--

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
