Human Rights Defenders on Violations of Islamists’ Rights
Baku / 28.12.19 / Turan: On December 27, the Center for the Protection of the Rights of Believers presented a report on the results of the year, which reflects cases of pressure on believers.
The event was attended by members of families of political prisoners and convicts in the Nardaran and Ganja events, as well as in the “Terter case”.
During the meeting, it was noted that believers make up the bulk of political prisoners in the country. Of more than 130 political prisoners, two-thirds are believers, religious activists, and leaders of the Islamic Party.
The mother of Muraz Rahimov, who was killed by security forces during a special operation, stated that her son did not commit a crime and became a victim of repression. “My son was killed and secretly buried,” the woman said, demanding the posthumous rehabilitation of her son.
The father of Emin Aliyev, who was arrested in the Terter case, Nasir Aliyev, announced the unjustified arrest of his son and horrific torture against the defendants in this case.
“They pulled out their nails and let electric current through their bodies. Some had their fingernails pulled out. Fittings were heated and shoved directly into the ribs. Plastic containers were melted and poured hot on the body,” the man said.
The speakers demanded that the authorities investigate violations of the rights of prisoners and punish those responsible. –30D-
