The arrest of Ismail Rasulov is illegal - lawyer

The  activist of the  Popular Front Party Ismail Rasulov  arrested on the eve  for  30 days  was  visited by his lawyer  Asabali Mustafayev. On his Facebook page he wrote that activist pleads not guilty of not subordinating police. "I note that Ismail Rasulov is the invalid of the second group. He is sick with diabetes and should be fed in a special regime,  he  needs regular injections of insulin. Of course,  such a man must not be kept under administrative detention. The law itself prohibits  administrative arrest  against such people, the lawyer said.

 The Article 30.2 of the Code of Administrative Offences defines the range of persons who may be subjected to administrative detention. Among them are invalids of the second group. Sanctions  of the Article 535.1. (not  subordinationpolice) against Rasulov provide for a fine of 200 manat, or up to a month of arrest.

"The court, ignoring the requirements of the law, appointed the invalid of the second group  the highest level of punishment. Such lawlessness previously took place in relation to another war invalid - Babek Hasanov," said the lawyer.

   During the communication of the case to the European Court of Human Rights Azerbaijani government has vowed that the court did not know that Hasanov is invalid.

Mustafayev regarded  the punishment of  Rasulov  as violation of Article 7 (illegal punishment) of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The lawyer said the agency Turan that the police   accused Rasulov  regarding his critical status in facebook, and active opposition activity, indicating that the arrest was politically motivated.

The lawyer will appeal against the arrest warrant. At the same time, Mustafayev said that he could not meet  in jail  of the State Service  with the other arrested member of APFP - Fuad Ahmadli. Despite the fact that today, the lawyer submitted  the  permission from the investigating authority, it was stated that the paperwork will take a long time and the meeting will take place no earlier than Monday.

The lawyer expressed concern that activist has not been allowed yet to  talk on the telephone  with his  family, to get from home necessary things, and he is still in the clothes in which he was during  detention.

Ahmadli  is accused of "connections" with the movement of the Turkish preacher Fetullah Gulen.-16D06-
