Health of youth activist kept in the pre-trial jail deteriorated

Asabali Mustafayev, a lawyer of  youth activist, Orkhan Eyubzadek requested to transfer his client from prison to house arrest. According to  Mustafayev, keeping  Eyubzade  in jail, is not only unreasonable, but also dangerous to his health. According to the lawyer, Eyubzade  has periodically convulsions of losing consciousness.  He has been suffering such problems  since childhood, but they intensified in jail  where he is not  provided  medical assistance.

 Eyubzade is accused of resisting police by force. The lawyer believes the accusation  is absurd, because it was the police that  used force against the activist during his arrest at the end of last year.

Lawyer seeks viewing records with surveillance cameras in the  Binagady pre-trial jail where alleged incident occurred, as well as the questioning  the witnesses, who like Eyubzade were  subjected to inhuman treatment.

Eyubzade was arrested on  May 6  for 20 days for taking part in a protest against the sentence of eight activists movement NİDA. However, after the expiration  the term of  his arrest, he was not released. He was taken to  the Binagady Court  that arrested him for one month on charges under Article 315.1 of the Criminal Code (use of violence against a government representative.) Article is punishable by imprisonment up to three years. - 06D-
