Baku/30.05.23/Turan: Family members of Abbas Huseyn, the convicted activist of the Muslim Unity Movement, held a protest rally in front of the Prosecutor General's Office of Azerbaijan on May 30.
They protested against the court's decision to send Huseyn from the jail to a covered Gobustan prison for a year.
"We demand the cancellation of this decision and ensuring its safety. Abbas has been repeatedly beaten and tortured in recent months," his mother Rahima Huseynova said. Police officers escorted the protesters to the reception of the Prosecutor General's Office.
It should be noted that today the Baku Court of Appeal did not satisfy Huseyn's complaint and upheld the decision to transfer him to the Gobustan prison.
The defense believes that the court violated Huseyn's right under the Article 6 (right to a fair trial) The European Convention and intends to file a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court.
*The head of the Union of Muslims Movement, Taleh Bagirzade, Abbas Huseyn and a number of other religious figures were detained on November 26, 2015 as a result of a special operation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the village of Nardaran.
The detainees were accused of participating in a criminal group organized by Bagirzade. The court found them guilty of terrorism, illegal possession of weapons, an attempt to forcibly change the constitutional order, resisting the police and violating other articles of the Criminal Code, and sentenced them to imprisonment for terms from 12 to 19 years. Abbas Huseyn was sentenced to 20 years in prison. And he spent the first 7 years already in Gobustan prison. He and a number of other activists of the Movement were recognized as political prisoners. ---030В60---
