The court sentenced Akhsan Nuruzade to 2 months of administrative arrest, said lawyer Fakhraddin Mekhtiyev. At the same time, two days were deducted taking into account the time spent in custody.
According to the court’s decision, at the end of his arrest, Nuruzade must be sent for compulsory treatment for drug addiction.
The court did not take into account that he has two children in his care after the death of his wife, and that he has a seriously ill heart.
According to the lawyer, Nuruzade categorically denied the charge of drug use and pointed to the falsification of the drug test report. He said that if the appellate court does not overturn this decision, he will go on a hunger strike.
