Baku/03.09.20/Turan: The Baku Human Rights Club (BHRC) issued a statement condemning today's conviction of opposition politician Tofig Yagublu.
The charges brought against Yagublu were not proven in court. The evidence was based only on conflicting testimonies of victims and witnesses. The video images necessary for a comprehensive and objective investigation were not obtained. None of the motions of the defense were secured.
According to the prosecution, Yagublu caused an accident in his car, and then also "beat" the Elkhan and Javahir Jabrailovs in the other car, "inflicting injuries on them with a screwdriver."
The BHRC believes that such court decisions, due to contradiction with the country's international obligations, negatively affect the image of Azerbaijan, especially in the context of violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Believing that Yagublu should be released as soon as possible, the BHRC calls on the authorities to take steps in this direction.
* The BHRC was established this spring. The co-founders of the organization are human rights activist Rasul Jafarov and lawyer Javad Javadov. –06D-
