Baku. Ramil Mammadli–APA. Three people died as a result of tortures they faced in the law-enforcement offices of Azerbaijan in 2008, said Chairman of the Azerbaijan Anti-Torture Committee Elchin Behbudov, APA reports. Behbudov said law-enforcement officers tortured the detainees during the preliminary investigation, but the relevant organizations denied such facts.

The Human Rights defender said he addressed the international organizations about the facts of torture. “According to the international law, the relevant organizations should investigate the cases of torture and punish the guilty persons. Unfortunately the facts of torture are not investigated correctly in Azerbaijan. The law-enforcement bodies conceal these facts and don’t intend to damage the international image of the country. We noted these facts in our reports to the UN and Council of Europe anti-torture committees”, said Behbudov.
