Parliament takes into account civil rights of parties to the proceedings

On Tuesday the meeting of parliament made amendments  to  the Article 155.5 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Azerbaijan.

Until now the identity cards of participants of the trial (the accused suspects) were removed  and attached to the criminal case; and now the  presumption of innocence will be followed. From now on, preventive measures (other than detention), the accused and the suspected has the right to submit a copy of the investigation ID. In this case, their civil rights will not be violated.

According to the head of the parliamentary committee on legal policy and statehood, Ali Huseynli, sometimes trials last for months, and there is no sense in depriving citizens of documents for such a long period. -17В-
