26 September 2006 [19:47] - TODAY.AZ
Chief of the Azerbaijan Committee against Torture Elchin Behbudov met with former economic development minister Farhad Aliyev and former health minister Ali Insanov, held in National Security Ministry jail.

"Former ministers stated that they have not committed crimes. They consider themselves the victims of political games and complain of delaying of the investigation. Former ministers did not complain of the detention conditions. They have health problems. Farhad Aliyev suffers from heart disease and Ali Insanov from kidney disease and blood fluctuation. Both of them want to be treated in Central Clinic Hospital. I appealed to the ministry on the problem, but they replied that accused persons must be treated in the Justice Ministry Treatment Station. They can choose any doctor and specialist they want. They asked me about the meeting with the President and I said that the meeting has not taken place, but the President's Office considers it," the chief told the APA.

The human rights defender noted that former ministers announced the names of those who organized their arrest of human rights activists and they asked him to say their name only to the President.

Commenting Haji Mammadov's statement Aliyev said he committed no crime and this scenario was prepared in advance. He also expressed his regret on Economic Development Ministry former department chief Alihuseyn Shaliyev's self-murder.

"He said Shaliyev was an honest man and he does not know the causes of his self-murder. Farhad Aliyev thinks he did this, because he had no way out," Behbudov said.
