According to the lawyer Khalid Bagirov, a preparatory meeting was held with serious procedural violations: the defendant was not allowed to sit down and talk with a lawyer in private.
Moreover, the judge did not grant any petition – on return the case for further investigation because the investigation did not provided all requested documents, and the replacement of the preventive measure of arrest with house arrest, on the resolution of photo and video, etc.
"The judge simply ignored the request, unable to endure any decisions, and finally he appointed a hearing for February 6," said Bagirov. The lawyer noted that the arrested men are not allowed to meet with their lawyers. "I have faced such things for the first time in my practice," said Bagirov.
Relatives of the arrested reported about sharp deterioration of the arrested businessmen due to abuse and beatings during investigation.
