Human rights activist and journalist Ilgar Nasibov, who was brutally beaten by a group of persons on August 21 in Nakhchivan, was invited today to the police department of the city of Nakhchivan, and was recognized as a victim. Within 2 hours, he testified about the incident. “I was told that I was recognized as a victim, and a lawsuit was filed on the fact of beating under the Article 127.1 of the Criminal Code. This Article involves slight bodily harm,” told Nasibov.
This attitude of the investigation and the questions asked give the impression that the investigation is not going to seriously investigate the incident. In particular, the investigation refuses to admit that there were many attackers. ” They wanted to that a group of people that beat me in the office was a hallucination,” said a human rights activist.
He said that Farid who was accused of his beating stood clutching his head and cried, saying, “What have they done to you, then they will blame me for all!”
Nasibov also demanded an explanation for the official announcement of the Nakhchivan Interior Ministry that he was allegedly drunk, and that the incident – is the result of a fight between two drunks. “No expertise, no doctors, no investigation has fixed my drunkenness. This fact, as well as a ridiculous Article on which a lawsuit was filed mean that I should not wait for objective investigation,”- said a human rights activist.
Nasibov was beaten by several people in the office of the Resource Center for Democracy in Nakchihvane. His ribs, nose, cheekbones were broken, and inflicted multiple injuries. Doctors have put about ten stitches on his face, and noted severe concussion. He eye is also damaged, and he cannot see.
