Lawyer Reports Restriction of Fuad Ahmadli’s Rights
An activist of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA), Fuad Ahmadli, in detention since August 18, has never had an opportunity to meet his relatives or talk to them on the phone. Turan was told by his lawyer Asabali Mustafayev.
Ahmadli was first detained in the detention center of the State Security Service (SSS), and on September 2 he was transferred to the detention center No. 1 in Kurdakhani.
The lawyer considers illegal restriction of Ahmadli's right to have meetings and telephone conversations with his relatives.
Restrictions on visits and telephone conversations with family members can be introduced by the court on the investigator's suggestion. The lawyer did not find such a judgment in the accounts department or the office of the Kurdakhani jail. Thus, the activist's rights were limited illegally.
Mustafayev met with Ahmadli on September 5. Ahmadli did not complain about the conditions of his detention. However, he still has a health problem. If the restrictions are not lifted, the lawyer will go to court.
The defense has also put forward a motion to change the measure of restraint by house arrest, which will be discussed in the coming days.
* Ahmadli was arrested on August 18. On the evening of August 19 the State Security Service and the Prosecutor General's Office of Azerbaijan issued a joint statement in connection with Ahmadli's case. The press release reported that Ahmadli was charged with dissemination of personal data of subscribers to the Azerfon mobile communication company, where he worked. Ahmadli was also charged with violation of the legislation on operative-investigative activity and abuse of office. According to law enforcement officials, during the search in Ahmadli's apartment legally banned religious books and CD discs and leaflets with Fethullah Gulen's speeches were found. On August 23, law enforcement authorities reported on the merger of Ahmadli's case with the case of another activist of PFPA, Faig Amirov, also suspected of collaboration with the Gulen organization.
PFPA rejected these accusations and called them fabricated for political reasons. -06d--
