A UNIFIED LIST OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IN AZERBAIJAN Covering the period up to 25 November 2016 The persons arrested on the said date were charged with hooliganism and resisting police. However, these charges were later dropped and they received administrative detention under the charge of resisting police. The people released on November 20 and thereafter were again detained for Nardaran incidents and sentenced to administrative detention again. While in administrative detention, they faced charges under which they were sentenced. One of these detainees Sahil Rzayev, who had been earlier arrested in the hijab protest and sentenced to imprisonment, filed an appeal saying that both him and his believer friends were subjected to heavy torture and that they did not commit any crime and peacefully protested against Elchin Gasimov’s arrest. The appeal was publicized in the press. 57 The verdict issued on these persons shows that their imprisonment is only based on the testimonies of police officers. The video records taken from security cameras installed before the police office, which were submitted to the court, do not show any resistance of these persons against the police officers or their being involved in confrontation. The records show a group of people standing before the police office, a large number of police officers in the area, a conversation going on between believers and some police officers that later turned to a conflict as a result of use of force by police officers. 36. Elvin Hatif oglu Bunyadov Date of arrest: 05 November 2015 Charge: Articles 228.4 (illegal purchase, selling or carrying of a gas weapon, cold steel, as well as a throwing weapon, except for places where carrying of a cold steel is an accessory of a national suit or is connected to hunting), 233 (organizing actions causing violation of public order or active participation in such actions) and 315.2 (use of force, dangerous to life or health, against a representative of authority, in the performance of his professional duties) of the Criminal Code Prison: Baku Pre-trial Detention Facility Case summary: Elvin Bunyadov was among the people who gathered before the Sabunchu District Police Office in protest of the detention of Elchin Gasimov, deputy chairman of Muslim Unity Movement.
