01 April 2006 [09:44] - TODAY.AZ
Preparatory trial of Yeni Fikir Youth Movement Chief Ruslan Bashirli, Chief assistant Ramin Tagiyev and Coordinator Said Nuri was held in the Grave Crimes Court.

As APA reports, they are accused due to the Criminal Code article 278 (to seize the power by force) and 192 (illegal entrepreneurship). The sitting started an hour late as the lawyers did not come. But then the both lawyers - Osman Kazimov and Elchin Gambarov joined the sitting.

The trial was presided over by Tofig Pashayev. The Republic Prosecutor's Office representative Shahin Rahimov, acted as the Public Prosecutor. Ruslan Bashirli demanded that Lider TV correspondent should leave the trial hall and victims of March 31 Genocide of Azerbaijanis should be commemorated in one minute silence. The lawyer Osman Kazimov submitted a list of evidences to the defense side and made some claims. He demanded that names of alleged Armenian intelligence officers should be publicized, Osman Alimuradov's video cassette should be submitted and fact that Ruslan Bashirli received bribes from the embassies should be given to the trial.

"Statements against Ruslan Bashirli are reflected in investigation materials. All of the statements were not included in the materials. PFPA chief Ali Kerimli's statement was excluded from the materials. There is no evidence in the material proving relation of Ruslan Bashirli to Armenian intelligence bodies."

The Public Prosecutor said that the cassette will be submitted to the trial in the next sitting and there is no need to give the other evidences to the trial now.

Bashirli said that he underwent tortures during the arrest time and got brain injury. He demanded that the law enforcement bodies who tortured should be held accountable.

The Public Prosecutor also proposed to hold closed trial because there is intelligence and state secret in the investigation. Lawyers and the accused objected this proposal.
