Investigation Does Not Give Documents to Defense - Lawyer

In the criminal case on the Nardaran events 18 police officers are recognized as victims. However, the prosecutor's office, despite the completion of the preliminary investigation, does not give the related materials to the defense. Turan was told by Fariz Namazly, the lawyer of one of the defendants.

According to him, the head of the investigative group Parviz Ibayev refused to give the documents to the lawyer, stating that they are not relevant to the defense.

However, as the lawyer said, his client is charged with the 21^st article, including the use of violence against a representative of authorities, premeditated murder, and the creation of an armed group. According to these articles, the police are recognized as victims.

Namazly stressed that "this is a new trend" at the prosecutor's office. Before that, the lawyers were not given investigative materials in the case of the journalist Khadija Ismayilova.

Namazly regards the like, as a violation of the right to defense. Note that 19 people are involved in the case, including the leader of the movement Muslim Unity Taleh Bagirzadeh.

* In November 2015 a police raid took place in Nardaran, in which Bagirzade and a group of his supporters were arrested. During the operation, six people were killed, including two policemen and four believers. -06D--
