Five relatives of Elshad Abdullayev are on hunger strike

Four relatives, Tehran, Nazaket , Geychak and Parviz Abdullayev joined the  hunger strike by the  former officer of the  National  Security Ministry  (NSM)  Azad Mursaliyeva, which began on January 22. They  demand to clarify the issue  on kidnapping the major of the NSM, Mahir Abdullayev, in October 2003 , the termination  of the violation of the rights of the former rector of the Azerbaijan International University ( AIU) Elshad Abdullayev  who is  in political emigration in France, and other relatives.

A press conference  with the participants of the hunger strike took place on January 27  in the address: Ismail Bey Gutgashenly, 9.

Participants of the rally protested against the inaction of the investigation, which for 10 years has not disclosed kidnapping Mahir Abdullayev. They are also protesting against repression of  Elshad Abdullayev, against whom  lawsuit was filed  due to operations on human organ transplantation  in the clinic  of the University,  to which Elshad Abdullayev did not have any relation. 

Relatives believe that Mahir Abdullayev was kidnapped by a grouping close to the authorities.

"The authorities have not expressed  any attitude to our hunger strike. We want an independent investigative committee under the  General Prosecutor's Office provided information about the investigation  on kidnapping  Mahir Abdullayev, and if anybody  has been  brought to justice," said Mursaliyev.

Elshad Abdullayev , who since 2010 has been in exile in France, has also stated that they demanded a large ransom for the release of his brother. In recent years, he introduced the video evidence  on money extortion from him for the liberation of his brother.

The nephew  of Mahir  and  Elshad Abdullayevs, Mubariz Abdullayev, was also arrested.

He was sentenced  on August 21, 2013  by Lankaran Serious Crimes  Court to 10 years in prison under Article 182.3.2 (extortion by threats of property on a large scale.) According to relatives , he was tortured to testify against Elshad Abdullayev.

Mursaliyev also announced about elimination of document  by government on ownership of the house of his grandfather Islam Abdullayev.

Mursaliyev said that the hunger strikers participants appeal to the president to stop the pressure on family members Abdullayev, and punishment of persons guilty of kidnapping Mahir Abdullayev.-03C06-
