Shabnam Nazarova told the media that her husband Elvin Nazarov sentenced to 7 years imprisonment in the so-called “Ganja case” in March 2019 has been subjected to torture and other forms of repression while in custody,
“Elvin was transferred to the Shaki prison following his conviction and there, almost immediately, it was started a psychological war against him. From the very first day, Ramin Aliyev, the prison director, exerted a pressure on Elvin, and regularly subjected the convicted believer to physical beatings. The prison director is doing everything to put my spouse in the punishment cell. Yesterday, he forcibly shaved Elvin’s head. At the same time, Ramin Aliyev said that he was the LAW in the prison and would do whatever he wanted. Even though Elvin had been just shaven, he was undergone the torture of the shaving again. Ramin Aliyev said “there is no such a law, I am in a mood to do it again”.
Elvin Nazarov’s wife explained that he was still suffering from severe headaches and heart pains as a result of the horrific torture inflicted on him during the investigation,
“When they tortured Elvin, they hit on his ears so hard that blood had been pouring out of his mouth and ears for several days. Even today, the physical and psychological pressure on a man in such a state does not cease. Elvin says that he filed complaints against the prison director anywhere he could but all in vain”.
