Azerbaijani media reports that the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan is holding its next Plenum and according to chairman of the Supreme Court Ramiz Rzayev, ministers of justice and health, chairmen of courts attended the meeting.
Rzayev said that the courts violated some laws: “Sometimes the decisions that are to be passed by psychiatrists are made by persons, who have nothing to do with the case. In most cases, a psychiatrist’s opinion is not taken into consideration and the released persons commit a crime again. A person killed his father, attempted to kill his mother. This person was sentenced to compulsory treatment. But then, the court released this person – Ilgar Rzayev and he killed his mother. We have prematurely terminated the judge’s activity, who released him. Wrong decisions are passed on sending the persons, who committed crimes in affective state, to insane hospitals. The court protocols on these cases are very short, as a template. It shows that the judges don’t read protocols” said the chairman of the Supreme Court Ramiz Rzayev.
