Baku/19.07.23/Turan: Despite the fact that the trial over Azerbaijani citizen Farid Safarli, accused of espionage in Iran, has already started, he is still not provided with a lawyer. This was reported to Turan by his mother Dilara Askerova.
"My son's rights are being grossly violated. In court he is being interrogated in Farsi, which he does not speak. Farid has been illegally under arrest for four months now, but neither the Azerbaijani nor Iranian sides provide him with a lawyer," Askerova said.
She complained about the lack of effective assistance to her son from the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, despite the fact that Askerova appealed to the leadership of the department.
The young man's mother asks the Azerbaijani state bodies to speed up the process of providing her son with a lawyer.
Askerova also noted the cessation of telephone communication with her son.
According to her, she spoke to her son twice by phone after the Iranian authorities recognised his arrest.
She also said that no one from the Azerbaijani Consulate General in Tabriz is involved in her son's trial.
"My son told me this the last time we spoke to him on the phone. Farid asked me why no one from the Azerbaijani consulate is interested in his trial?", Askerova said.
She called on Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov to make efforts to resume telephone contact with her son, to create conditions for a meeting with him in August, and for consular officials to be present in court until the young man is provided with a lawyer.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry told Turan that "information on this matter will be provided later".
It was not possible to get comments from the Iranian Embassy in Azerbaijan.
Farid Safarli, who is studying in Germany, travelled to Iran in February this year to meet his girlfriend, whom they met while studying together at university. On 4 March Safarli stopped contacting her. And only after nearly 3 months it became known that in Iran a criminal case was opened against him on charges of espionage. -06В-
