Zamin Salaev lost consciousness at the court hearing
Baku/17.05.23 /Turan: On Wednesday, at the trial in the case of the activist of the Popular Front Party Zamin Salayev, who is on hunger strike for the 100th day in the Baku pre-trial detention center-1, he lost consciousness. The trial in the Garadagh district Court was interrupted and an ambulance team was called. After the doctors examined Salayev in the courtroom and gave him injections, the trial continued. Two witnesses were heard - taxi drivers who were near the scene of the incident. However, they testified that they had not seen Salayev at the scene of the incident.
Other witnesses are two police officers and two drug addicts. The victim himself also admitted at the trial that he had received treatment for drug addiction and had been previously convicted. He claimed that Salayev had stabbed him. However, the examination concluded that he "suffered damage, the extent of which cannot be determined."
According to the examination, traces of the index finger of Salayev's left hand were found on the knife, which was present at the investigation as material evidence. But a lawyer Fahraddin Mehdiyev noted, it is impossible to hold a knife with one finger. The next trial is scheduled for May 22.
*Zamin Salayev was detained on February 7, the next day the Garadagh district Court arrested him. A criminal case has been initiated against him under Article 221.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hooliganism – the use of force against the victim with the use of weapons or objects used as weapons). If the charge is proven, Salayev faces up to 5 years in prison. Salayev considers his arrest an order and has been on hunger strike for 100 days in protest against the court's decision. The US Embassy in Baku called on the authorities to release Salayev and other political prisoners. ---06B---
