Baku/07.05.19/Turan: Regular trial in the case of Azad Hasanov, member of Musavat party activist Azad Hasanov, took place in the Baku Serious Crimes Court chaired by Irada Hasanova.
He was detained in October 2018 immediately after returning from Lithuania, where he lived in political emigration for 4 years. In Baku, he was charged under Art. 234.4.3 (drug trafficking on a large scale) of the Criminal Code.
At the last meeting, lawyer Osman Kazimov asked the court to question as a witness Fikret Gasimov, an employee of the Baku City Main Police Department, who, according to the defense, did not allow Hasanov to contact his relatives and report on the arrest. In addition, the lawyer asked me to send a request to the service of the MIA "102" and the Prosecutor General"s Office, whose hotline was called by Hasanov"s relatives, trying to find out his whereabouts.
The court, having conferred on the spot, granted the petition.
The lawyer, Kazimov, filed another petition with the court - about bringing the GUPB registration book to the court in order to check whether the witness Alirbekov Beyukbey entered the building on the day of Hasanov"s arrest.
The court, having conferred, decided to send a request to the GUPB, in response to which there should be a photo of the pages of the registration book for the specified number.
The next court hearing is scheduled for May 27.

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
