The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in the near future will begin to communicate the complaint of the activist of NIDA Movement Ilkin Rustamzade against unlawful arrest in May 2014. According to the lawyer Nemat Karimli, Rustamzade is accused of hooliganism, the investigation did not provide evidence of guilt. Thus, the investigation incriminated Rustamzade of organizing dance flash mob Harlem Shake at the Baku Boulevard and placing a movie to YouTube. At the same time, in fact it was not injured.
Protection asks the ECHR to recognize the violation of the rights of Rustamzade under the Article 5 (right to liberty and security) of the European Convention on Human Rights. Earlier the ECHR began communication on the complaint of Rustamzade to administrative arrest in connection with the youth action in April 2013, on the occasion of the 4th anniversary of the mass murder in the Oil Academy. The complaint also raises the question of a violation of Article 5 of the European Convention.
The third complaint concerns the judgment of conviction of Rustamzade to eight years in prison on charges of hooliganism, organizing mass disorders, illegal possession of explosives. This complaint prepared a lawyer Khalid Bagirov.
This collective complaint concerns the violation of the rights of Rustamzade, as well as other activists convicted with him - Rashadat Akhundov, Zaur Gurbanli and Mamed Azizov on Articles 5 (right to liberty and security), 6 (right to a fair trial), 10 (freedom of expression ), 11 (freedom of assembly) and 18 (limitation on use of restrictions on rights) of the European Convention, Turan was told by the lawyer Bagirov. In the coming days the complaint will be sent to the ECHR.
Rustamzade remains the last of the eight NIDA activists convicted on May 6, 2014. All the others were pardoned in different periods. "Amnesty İnternational" recognized Rustamzade recognized as “prisoner of conscience.”- 06D-
