Two political prisoners subjected to inhuman treatment - lawyer
Baku / 15.01.18 / Turan: Life-guilty prisoners in Gobustan prison Safa Poladov and Arif Kazimov have been subjected to inhuman treatment, a lawyer Elchin Sadiqov wrote on his page in Facebook. According to him, at present they are forced to sleep right on iron beds. The head of the prison threatens them with death. Kazimov desperately tried to commit suicide, the lawyer said. Both prisoners were in a punishment cell repeatedly on far-fetched pretexts. They handed the lawyer a letter addressed to President Ilham Aliyev and asked to inform the public about the violation of their rights, the lawyer wrote.
Kazimov and Poladov served in the Detachment of Special Purpose Police (OPON) in the Gazakh region. They were arrested in March 1995 on charges of anti-government insurgency and sentenced to death. Later they were sentenced to life imprisonment. In 2017, the Supreme Court denied them the death penalty for 20 years in prison. Both are recognized as political prisoners. Turan"s attempts to receive a comment in the Penitentiary Service were futile. -03B06-
