The Strasbourg Court has started to communicate the complaints of three youth activists of NIDA Zaur Gurbanli, Mamed Azizov and Shahin Novruzlu. They ask the court to recognize their arrest in spring 2013 illegal.
According to the lawyer Fariz Namazly, the complaints raise issues of violation of the rights of the activists on Articles 5 (right to liberty and security) and 18 (limitations on the use of restrictions on rights) of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The Azerbaijani government will have three months to respond to the European Court of Human Rights.
Eight NIDA activists were arrested in March and April 2013 on charges of organizing mass disturbances and committing other crimes. In May 2014, they were sentenced to various prison terms of 6 to 8 years.
Subsequently, seven activists were released by presidential pardon decrees. Currently, only Ilkin Rustamzadeh is in jail. -06D--
