On 18 March the Baku Court of Appeal chaired by judge Jamal Ramazanov considered the complaint of Taleh Bagirzade, the leader of the "Muslim unity" Movement on the extension of detention term for another three months. The court dismissed the complaint, the lawyer Elchin Sadigov Bagirzade.
According to the lawyer, on March 18 also took place the confrotation of Bagirzade with the witness. "Due to the fact that there were no conditions for giving free testimony by the witness, and in connection with the previous facts of pressure on witnesses Taleh Bagirzade refused confrontation," the lawyer Sadigov wrote on his Facebook page. Sadigov also noted the continued violation of the rights of Bagirzade in jail, in particular, not providing an opportunity to use the right for telephone calls.
