Baku/07.03.23/Turan: Today, the Supreme Court today rejected the cassation appeal of Agyl Humbatov, an activist of the Popular Front Party.
“The Supreme Court, at least, should have returned the case for reconsideration to the appellate instance,” lawyer Neymat Karimli told Turan. According to him, the defense will appeal to the European Court of Human Rights in connection with the violation of Article 6 (right to a fair trial).
In turn, the Supreme Court, commenting on the decision, noted that the decision was made on behalf of the state and the dissenting party can apply to the appropriate authority.
Agyl Humbatov was detained on August 11, 2021 in connection with the case of wounding a resident of the Zira village near Baku. Humbatov was charged under the Article 126.2.4 (intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm in a generally dangerous way out of hooligan motives) of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan,
During the trial, Humbatov retracted his initial testimony, saying that he had given it under torture. However, the court sentenced him to 10 years in prison. Human rights activists recognized Humbatov as a political prisoner. ---03В06---
