Baku / 23.01.18 / Turan: Consideration of the cassation appeal of the theologian Sardar Babayev was appointed in the Supreme Court of the country on the morning of January 30 under the chairmanship of Gulzar Rzaeva.

Lawyer Javad Javadov today met with his client in prison No. 17. "Babayev appealed to the Supreme Court with a request to ensure his personal participation. We hope that the Supreme Court will decide on the release of the theologian," said the lawyer.

Sardar Babayev was detained on February 22, 2017 and charged under Article 168.1 (infringement of the rights of people under the guise of religious rites). On this charge the Masallinsky court convicted Babayev to three years of imprisonment on July 3 of the same year. The appeal against the verdict was examined by the Shirvan Court of Appeal, which upheld the verdict of the court of first instance.

During the investigation it was noted that Sardar Babayev was studying abroad and under current legislation, he has no right to carry out religious ceremonies.

However, he received his education abroad before the amendments to the legislation. Currently, there are many persons in the Caucasus Muslims Department who have received religious education abroad and hold important posts. -03B06-
