Baku / 27.12.17 / Turan: The decision on the administrative arrest of the former Defense Minister Rahim Gaziyev for 10 days will be appealed. Turan was informed about this by his lawyer Zibeyda Sadigova.
She visited Gaziyev in the detention center at the Baku Main Police Department on Wednesday.
Gaziyev was detained on December 25 afternoon. On December 26, he was sentenced to 10 days of administrative arrest. The court was held without notice to his family or lawyer.
Only today Sadigova managed to find out that Gaziyev was found guilty under Article 510 (petty hooliganism) of the Administrative Offenses Code.
"Rahim Gaziyev said that on December 25 police detained him in the park opposite the Nariman Narimanov subway station. Then he was taken to the 17th branch of the Narimanov District Police Department.
On December 26 at 11.00, Gaziyev was taken to the Narimanov District Court. According to the police, Gaziyev allegedly cursed someone loudly on the phone in the street and used obscene language. Gaziyev in the court said that all the calls are in the phone"s memory and asked to invite everyone with whom he spoke on the phone that day to the court and ask whom he cursed.
His petition was not granted," Sadigova said.
According to her, Gaziyev links his arrest with his latest critical interviews in the media.
Gaziyev was assigned a lawyer, but he refused this lawyer and asked to invite a lawyer on his own choice. However, the court did not take this into account.
The lawyer also drew attention to the fact that according to Article 30.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, men over 65 cannot be subject to administrative arrest. Rahim Gaziev is 74 years old.
Sadigova said that an appellate complaint will be filed against the arrest.
Rahim Gaziyev was Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan from March 1992 to February 1993. Later he was arrested on charges of treason and sentenced to death, which was later replaced by life imprisonment, and then by 15 years imprisonment.
In 2005 he was pardoned. -03B06-
