\n On July 21, 2015, the Baku Court of Appeal rejected an appeal of human rights defender and lawyer Intigam Aliyev sentenced to 7.5 years in prison, local and international press reported. Aliyev was arrested on charges of tax evasion, abuse of power, illegal entrepreneurship, and appropriation, charges widely seen as politically motivated.\n<\/p>\n

\n During the hearing, Aliyev was placed into a glass \u201croom-aquarium,\u201d where he could not hear anything,

\n According to

\n , Aliyev said he did not expect a fair trial as “even the minimum standards of a fair trial are not respected in Azerbaijan.” He also added: “This government does not comply with the decisions of the European Court. For power \u00a0the decision of this simple structure \u00a0is a piece of paper. We were arrested because we are defending the rights of people. In this country there is no judicial system.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Aliyev\u2019s attorney Javad Javadov stated: “The criminal case against my client has been falsified,” and added that Aliyev\u2019s prosecution was “politically motivated.”\n<\/p>\n
