Father of Sergeant Sued Prosecutor’s Office in Yevlakh

According to him, the soldier was slandered by a neighbor who complained about him to the police. The sergeant was taken directly from the military unit and was severely beaten by the police.
“Another military man living together with Osmanli in a rented apartment lost 1,650 manat in August. Then he accused Osmanli of theft and complained to the police. Osmanli was brutally beaten by two officers - Captain and Major. The soldier was seriously injured - they broke his ribs,” said the human rights activist, and presented pictures with signs of violence on the body of the Sgt.
