What is behind the 30-day arrest of the activist?
Baku/03.12.21/Turan: An appeal will be lodged against the 30-day administrative detention decision of Sabail district court against youth activist Rustam Ismailbeyli, lawyer Zibeyda Sadigova told Turan. This was reported to Turan by lawyer Zibeyda Sadigova.
She pointed out that the administrative case against the activist under Article 211.1 (violation of quarantine regime) of the Code of Administrative Offences is absolutely illegal and fabricated.
According to her, Ismailbeyli was detained on 1 December in the Fountain Square upon completion of the action in defense of Saleh Rustamov.
The police report noted that Ismailbeyl was detained at 3.10 p.m. However, he did not leave the university until 3.40 p.m. (as witnesses confirm), and came to the place of the action at 5 p.m.
In addition, there are video recordings of journalists which show the actual time of the activist's detention.
The police claims that Ismailbeyli violated the social distance. However, the video shows him being grabbed by four or five policemen and taken to a paddy wagon. "You cannot detain a social distance violator in this form. If social distance was violated, why weren't other "accomplices" detained?
The lawyer believes that it is not accidental that the activist was given the maximum penalty under Article 211.1. "This is too harsh a punishment. Two years ago he was arrested for organizing a protest action in front of the Ministry of Education and was given 15 days, but now - 30 days," - said the lawyer. Relatives of the activist are convinced that this was done on purpose to prevent the activist from finishing the college. It's the last month of training, and 30 days of arrest means that he will not pass exams, nor receive a diploma and will be conscripted into the army for a year and a half. This is done to isolate the activist from social activities for as long as possible.-06B-
