National Security Ministry (NSM) is using my son to denigrate someone, said at the press conference Kamran Hashimli, the father of a journalist and human rights activist, Parviz Hashimli, arrested a month ago.
An employee of the newspaper "Bizim Yol" , the head of the site Modertator.az, head of the Centre to Protect Civil and Political Freedoms, a member of the Supreme Majlis of PPFA, Parviz Hashimli, was arrested on September 18.
He was charged under Articles 206.3.2 (smuggling of weapons and ammunition by prior agreement) and 228.2.1 (illegal possession of firearms and ammunition by prior agreement) of the Criminal Code.
Hashimli is kept in the detention center of the NSM.
According to the father, his son is interrogated by the General of the NSM, whose name he did not mention. The General told Parviz that his destiny is in his own hands. "Write that you repeatedly transferred money to the head of the Popular Front Party, Ali Kerimli. Write about it and give it us, and we will hand over the letter to the President. However, Parviz swore on the Koran that he does not have any relations to arms and money. Then the general said that until he does not write such a letter, he will be a hostage in the NSM," said the father of the journalist. He called on the Red Cross to help him, and criticized the government and accused ministers of defrauding the president.
"If Parviz really transferred money to Ali Kerimli, you could carry out the operation and catch him," said K.Hashimli.
Elchin Sadigov, the lawyer of the arrested, said that the investigation in the case of journalist is not going on, he has never been officially questioned. "Today, Parviz is being questioned informally, although it is contrary to law.
There are a lot of contradictions in the investigation. Thus, on the black market the pistol "Makarov" costs $200-$300, but the investigation said that Parviz bought the guns for $ 2,000.
The numbers of pistols follow each other. It turns out that the smugglers buy weapons at the plant?" said the lawyer ironically, referring to the fraud allegations.
According to Sadigov , the journalist is kept in poor conditions. “He is not given newspapers.
Walking is very short, and there is not a daylight in the cell. He is not allowed to meet with family members. Instead of TV set there is a radio connected only to the radio Lider,” said the lawyer .
The lawyer also pointed out that the court rejected the petitions to replace the arrest on home arrest and illegal searches. Now a complaint is being prepared to the European Court of Human Rights. The lawyer said about the threat to the life of a journalist. "Parviz said they will create such conditions that he will hang himself ," said Sadiqov .
The journalist’s wife Ilakha Hashimli said that after the search of their home their small daughter was badly frightened, and fell into depression. –03C06-
