Former Police Major Rafael Mirzoyev, sentenced to 10 years on charges of drug trafficking , is the victim of intrigues of the leadership of the Interior Ministry. His principled refusal to pay bribes to his superiors has made him unwanted in the police. That's why provocation has been made against Mirzoyev , and he was arrested and convicted, said his wife Tarana Mirzoyeva and human rights activist Alekper Mamedov at a press conference in the media center on Thursday.
"If the Minister of Internal Affairs Ramil Usubov received Rafael Mirzoyev, and listened to him, things could be different. Therefore, I believe that one of the perpetrators of the incident is the interior minister, " said Tarana Mirzoyeva.
Everything began when the then Chief of Yasamal Police, Mohabatt Huseynov, made a conflict with Mirzoyev, because the latter did not give bribes to the authorities.
Another enemy of Mirzoyev was then the head of one of the departments of Interior Ministry, Ramiz Nagiyev, who, according to Tarana Mirzoyeva, blackmailed her husband and demanded money. All this has led to the fact that Mirzoyev was drawn into a provocation with the drug operation, and allegedly turned into an accomplice in the crime. The operation was conducted in July 2011. A resident of Astara region, Wahid Abdullayev, was also arrested, and four kilograms of hashish were found with them.
The guilt of Mirzoyev is that, not being authorized by the leadership for the operation, he agreed to help their colleagues in detention the drug traffickers. As a result, he was detained by traffic police, as a member of the drug dealers.
Human rights activist Alekper Mamedov said that in July the Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the Baku Serious Crimes Court, which sentenced Mirzoyev to 10 years in prison on March 19, 2012.
The appeals in illegal court decision were sent to the President, the Ombudswoman, the Milli Mejlis, the OSCE, human rights organizations, foreign embassies, and international organizations. Currently, Rafael Mirzoyev is kept in jail N 9, where he is serving his sentence. -04С-
