Baku/14.07.21 / Turan: Today, the Baku Court of Appeal chaired by judge Hasan Akhmedov considered a complaint against the arrest of a member of the Muslim Unity Movement (MUM), Razi Gumbatov.
According to lawyer Javad Javadov, at the trial Gumbatov declared that physical pressure was exerted on him during his detention.
"In this regard, we will complain to the prosecutor's office," the lawyer said.
He noted that Gumbatov would not plead guilty to the charges against him.
"Razi Gumbatov said that he would not plead guilty. In court, he said that he was persecuted for critical posts on social networks, for a public campaign against drug addiction, putting up posters against drugs. Gumbatov said that he did not have any drugs, he was a religious person and it would be a shame for him to engage in such activities," Javadov said.
The lawyer said that the defense would continue legal steps to release Gumbatov from custody and would file a petition to change the preventive measure into house arrest.
It should be added that Gumbatov was detained on July 7 in the village of Jeyranbatan.
Finally, three days later, the lawyer managed to find out that on July 8, the Narimanov district court chose a preventive measure against him in the form of arrest for a period of 4 months in keeping with Article 234.4.3 (large-scale drug trafficking) of the Criminal Code. Under this Article, he faces a sentence of up to 12 years of imprisonment.
The MUM links the arrest of Gumbatov with his criticism of the authorities in social networks, as well as with his active struggle against the spread of drugs among young people.—03B06-
