Baku / 24.01.20 / Turan: Ilkin Suleymanov accused of abducting and killing a resident of the village of Dondar Gushchu, 10-year-old Narmin Guliyeva said in an appeal court that he had confessed under torture. This was reported by Radio Azadlig, referring to his lawyer Alibaba Rzayev.
Suleymanov is charged under Art. 120.2.9 (murder of a person in a helpless state) and 145.2.3 (abduction of a minor) of the Criminal Code.
Tovuz district court chose a preventive measure in the form of arrest. The defense filed an appeal, which was examined by the judges of the Ganja Court of Appeal in the building of the Sabunchu District Court of Baku.
According to the lawyer, Suleymanov stated in the court of appeal that he confessed on the abduction of Guliyeva and her murder, under torture.
“He said there was nothing like that - all this is a fictitious scenario,” the lawyer said.
According to him, there are traces of violence on Suleymanov’s body. The defense requested that the court make a separate decision in connection with torture and other procedural violations, and submit a submission to the prosecutor to investigate this. However, the court did not grant the request and the complaint.
In turn, the Prosecutor General’s office denied the lawyer's statement about torture. According to the Prosecutor General, Suleymanov was examined upon admission to Baku Detention Center No. 1 and there were no signs of violence on his body.
However, earlier, Suleymanov’s sister and father stated that they could torture Ilkin and that his testimony was written in a different style.
Apparently, the Prosecutor's office intends to remove another lawyer that is objectionable to them and will complain about his actions to the Bar Association, where they are always happy to remove human rights defenders from work.
Recall that Guliyeva disappeared in the village of Dondar Gushchu on November 21, 2019. On January 6, her charred body was found in the same village. On January 10, 47-year-old Suleymanov was detained.
According to the charges against him, he faces from 3 to 5 years in prison under Art. 145.2.3, and from 14 to 20 years or life imprisonment, according to Art. 120.2.9 of the Criminal Code. -06D-
