Trial in the case of journalist and human rights activist Parviz Hashimli accused of illegal possession of weapons and contraband took place in the Baku Serious Crime Court.
At the beginning of the trial Hashimli complained that before coming to court the employees of the MNS removed his records. He also presented statements of the CoE, OSCE , Human Right Watch, Amnesty International, and other international organizations in his case, and asked to attach them to the case.
However, the judge said that the court will investigate the evidence and documents relating to the trial.
Then the lawyer Elchin Sadygov petitioned to interrogate a witness, Major of the MNS, Kamal Rasulzade, who run the operation to arrest Tavakkul Gurbanov and searches in his home and car.
He also proposed to identify and question the MNS officers who conducted the wiretap.
Hashimli said that the investigation asked him a lot of questions about Veli Nagiev (Ali Nagiev’s brother, former deputy head of the MNS), now deputy head of the Anti-Corruption Office in the Prosecutor General's Office), and Javid Gurbanov ( head of JSC "Azeryolservis".)
"They asked where did I know them. The investigation was particularly interested in whether I passed money from these people to opposition? They even made me swear on the Koran. It is known that the MNS has some problems with Nagievs brothers, and I am used to eliminate them," said Hashimli.
Lawyer Elchin Sadigov said that a lawsuit was fabricated . "We believe that Gurbanov was not in Bilusuvar.
Therefore, we ask to request from the mobile operator information about moving on September 17, 2013 the mobile phone of Gurbanov, and view security camera of Traffic Police and the Ministry of Transport on the route Baku-Bilusuvar to set the movement of Gurbanov’s car," Sadigov said.
The lawyer Sadigov proposed petition on identified pistols. "From the investigation materials it comes out that pistols "Signal" are prepared for secret services.
Only after unprofessional processing they become suitable for live firing. No experiments were conducted during the investigation, and we ask to appoint an expert on combat life pistols and grenades," said the lawyer. The Court heard Sevda Aslanova, who was invited as a witness. The trial will continue until April 28. -06D-
