Baku / 29.12.19 / Turan: The Center for Monitoring Political Prisoners (CMPP) sharply condemned the detention and beating by the police of blogger Mehman Huseynov.
“The fact of unjustified detention of the blogger by force is a gross violation of fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the European Convention, the Constitution of Azerbaijan and national legislation. And the use of torture is a criminal offense committed by officials,” said the head of the Center, Elshan Hasanov.
The CMPP demanded an investigation into the attack on the blogger and punishment of those responsible, and payment of compensation to Huseynov for the harm done to his health and moral damage.
Recall that Huseynov was captured by the police late in the evening of December 27 during a rally against the arrest of rapper Parviz Guluzadeh. He was taken out of town and severely beaten.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed the detention of Huseynov “for holding an uncoordinated action and violation of the rest of citizens”, but denied the fact of beating. —06B-
