Hüseyn Abdullayev
Baku/31.03.21/Turan: Convicted ex-deputy of the Milli Mejlis Huseyn Abdullayev appealed to President Ilham Aliyev to renounce Azerbaijani citizenship. Turan was informed about this by his mother Zeinab Abdullayeva.
According to her, Huseyn Abdullayev took this step in protest against the long-term arbitrariness against him.
Huseyn Abdullayev points out that the head of state was misinformed about him, after which he was illegally detained and arrested in 2018.
“The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Arrests also recognized as illegal the detention of my son in Turkey, extradition to Azerbaijan and conviction. The extradition of a person who has political asylum in Germany is contrary to international law and I should be immediately released,” Abdullayev said in his appeal.
He also announced the use of moral and psychological torture against him. “I have serious health problems and there is a risk of my death,” Abdullayev claims and points out that all his complaints to the courts were not satisfied because of the prejudice against him.
“Therefore, I decided to renounce the citizenship of Azerbaijan, because turning me into an enemy in my country force me to such a difficult decision,” Huseyn Abdullayev writes.
Official structures have not yet responded to this appeal.
* Huseyn Abdullaev, a native of the Nakhchivan region, in the 1990s held leading positions in the oil and oil products business. Groups of thugs under his control took part in dispersing opposition protests.
In 2005, Abdullayev became a member of parliament and criticized the activities of the Cabinet of Ministers. In March 2007, at a parliamentary meeting, pro-government deputy Fazail Agamaly provoked Abdullayev into a fight. However, only Abdullayev was punished. He was first arrested, and later sentenced for hooliganism to 2 years of probation.
In 2013, he emigrated from Azerbaijan. Some time later, a criminal case was initiated against him on tax charges.
While living in Germany, Abdullayev prepared and published a number of songs calling for mass protests on the social network.
On April 22, 2018, Abdullayev was detained in Turkey, where he arrived from Germany, and extradited to Azerbaijan.
In Baku he was charged under Art. 192.2.2 (illegal business with the extraction of large income), 178.2.1 (fraud), 178.2.2, 178.2.4 (fraud), 182.2.1 (extortion by threats by prior conspiracy of persons), 182.2.2 (the same actions repeated) and 182.2.4 (the same actions committed with inflicting large damage on the victim) of the Criminal Code. He was subsequently sentenced to 6 years in prison. -06D-
