Parents of defendants in ISIS financing case protest in front of the US Embassy
Baku/21.04.21/Turan: Parents and relatives of a group of persons accused of financing terrorism today tried to hold a protest in front of the US Embassy in Baku.
They believe that their children have been arrested on trumped-up charges and they demand their release. Parents are also concerned about the health of their children, who have been refusing food for more than 50 days. Babek Mammadli, Alladin Ibishov and Aflatun Bayramov, according to their relatives, have lost a lot of weight.
However, the police stopped the action. Several people were taken to the 21st department of the Nasimi district police department. The defendants in this case: Aladdin Ibishov, Shahriyar Jabbarov, Aflatun Bayramov, Elgun Ismayilov, Tehran Gasimov, Orkhan Gurbanov, Amin Hasanov, Javid Amanov, Yusif Imanov, Samir Gurbanov and Babek Mammadli were arrested several years ago on charges of participation in Sioux the composition of illegal armed groups.
They are charged with Articles 167-2.2.1 (illegal production, import and distribution of religious literature), 167-3.1 (illegal circulation of religious extremist literature), 214 (terrorism) and 218 (creation of a criminal community) of the Criminal Code. The trial began in February 2020. However, due to the pandemic, the trial was interrupted for a long time.
The trial resumed this year and at one of the sessions, the defendants inflicted cut wounds on themselves, protesting against the unjustified arrest. –30B-
