Baku / 09.05.17 / Turan: The Baku Court of Appeal under the chairmanship of Vugar Mamedov considered the complaint of Sahil Rzayev and five other believers the day before.
They were detained on November 5, 2015 in front of the Sabunchu district police department, where they came to clarify the fate of Elchin Gasymov, deputy chairman of the movement Muslim Unity, delivered to this department earlier.
Sahil Rzayev, Niftali Veliyev, Anar Aliyev, Elvin Bunyadov, Latif Ahmedov and Teymur Osmanov were subsequently charged under articles 233 (violation of public order) and 315 (resistance to police using violence) of the Criminal Code.
On August 3, the Sabunchu District Court sentenced them for various terms of punishment from 5 years 11.5 months to 6 years 5.5 months imprisonment. They appealed against the verdict.
As the lawyer Elchin Sadigov told Turan, the appeal was reviewed with violations of the law.
"When the judge turned off the microphone of Sahil Rzayev, who was in a glass cage, it caused protests from all the other defendants, and they turned their backs on the judge. The judge gave the floor to the state prosecutor and after a short meeting announced the rejection of complaints and maintaining in force without changing the decision of the court of first instance," Sadigov said.
According to him, this decision will be filed a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court.
All the accused are members of the Muslim Unity movement, leaders and many activists, either already convicted or awaiting a verdict on the so-called Big Nardaran Case. The investigation on this case began on November 26, 2015, when the law enforcers conducted a special operation in Nardaran, where the leader of the movement, Taleh Bagirzadeh and a group of his associates were arrested. Before that, his deputy Elchin Gasymov, who was also charged with criminal charges after the operation in Nardaran, was arrested on administrative grounds.
Arrests were also held in Ganja and in the southern and eastern regions. In total, about 90 people are involved in this case, and all of them are recognized by local human rights activists as political prisoners. --0--
