Baku Court of Appeal chaired by Sahib Akhmedov today rejected appeals of youth activist Orkhan Eyubzade against an extension of his arrest for another month, Turan was told by the lawyer said Asabali Mustafayev.
The lawyer considers unreasonable the detention of Eyubzade, and intends to file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights. According to him, despite the fact that the Strasbourg Court has already adopted four decisions on pretrial unfounded arrests in Azerbaijan, the courts continue this practice and especially in political cases.
