Bakı/09.08.21/Turan: Parents and relatives of persons convicted on the "Tovuz case" (terrorism financing) tried to hold a protest rally on the morning of August 9 by blocking the Parliamentary Avenue.
They believe that their children have been convicted unfairly and demand their release. For some time, the protesters managed to prevent the motor traffic. However, the police squads that arrived in time pushed the citizens away from the roadway.
At present, complaints against the verdict are currently considered by the Baku Court of Appeal. On July 27, the convicts went on a hunger strike.
Also, the parents voiced their concern for health and lives of their children. "At the trial, they told about tortures, everyone was crying, but no legal assessment have so far been, they are treated worse than prisoners," one of the protesters noted.

They are specifically charged with Articles 167-2.2.1 (illegal production, import and distribution of religious literature), 167-3. 1 (illegal trafficking of religious extremist literature), 214 (terrorism) and 218 (creation of criminal community) of the Criminal Code. The trial began in February 2020. However, due to the pandemic, the process was adjourned 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. The defendants declared their non-involvement in ISIL.

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
