Baku. Shahriyar Alizade – APA. Azerbaijan’s Garadagh district court on Thursday refused to consider the case of former OMON (special purpose police units) members Elchin Amiraslanov, Arif Kazimov, and Safa Poladov.
An appeal will be filed against this decision, Attorney Elchin Sadigov told APA.
All the three OMON members were sentenced to death in 1996. Later their capital punishment was commuted to life in prison. They appealed to the Garadagh district court for their lifetime sentence to be replaced with 20 years in prison.
