Resident of the region of Saatly claims he was beaten in the local police

Baku / 18.09.18 / Turan: Nazir Hasanov, a resident of the Saatli region claims that he was beaten by police officers who wanted to force him to confess to the theft.

On September 13, at 14.30, a group of people in civilian clothes were in the auto repair shop where he works. They put him in a car and brought him to the district police department. There, Hasanov was questioned about where he had been the day before. Hasanov said that in the morning until 10 o'clock in the evening was at work, and then went home. However, the police began to beat him, demanding to confess the theft from the grocery store near the place of his work.

By the end of the day, Hasanov was released. Coming out of the district department, he called the service "102" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and turned to the doctors with complaints of pain in the head and on the body. In Saatli hospital, a doctor was not found at night and he was taken to a hospital in the neighboring Sabirabad region.

"Doctors examined me and gave a conclusion about a traumatic brain injury and a ruptured eardrum. My right leg began to swell at night," said Hasanov, who is in the hospital.

After the appeal to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, an investigation began, and the investigator of the prosecutor's office questioned him, appointing a forensic medical examination.

In turn, deputy head of the press service of the Interior Ministry Okhan Mansurzade told Turan that Hasanov was invited to the Saatli district police department on September 13 in connection with the investigation in the criminal case. He was taken to the testimony, after which Hasanov was released: "The allegations of alleged beating in the district police department and physical pressure are untrue," Mansurzadeh said. -06D-
