The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled on four decisions regarding 38 complaints from Azerbaijan, obliging the government to pay compensation totaling 75,000 euros to the applicants. The settlements were reached amicably between the parties, and the Azerbaijani government agreed to pay the compensation.
In the case of Huseynov and Others v. Azerbaijan, the six applicants complained about violations of freedom of assembly and fair trial. They had been detained during various protests, and the government agreed to pay each of them 2,850 euros.
The applicants in the case of Umman Safarov and Others v. Azerbaijan complained about the violation of their right to a fair trial and personal inviolability. The government has agreed to pay 2,250 euros to Ahsan Nurizada and 1,250 euros each to 19 other applicants, including Umman Safarov himself, a member of the NIDA movement who was arrested in Ganja in 2017.
In the case of Shahlar Hasanov and Others v. Azerbaijan, the applicants complained about a violation of their right to a fair trial and personal inviolability. As per the settlement agreement, the government will pay Aliyev 1,250 euros, and Huseynov and Hasanov 2,250 euros each. Aliyev had been arrested in 2019 for sharing videos on social media regarding the demolition of unkempt graves at the Khirdalan cemetery and their subsequent sale.
In the case of Usuf Abulov v. Azerbaijan, he and eight other applicants complained about violations of freedom of assembly and personal inviolability. The government agreed to pay 4150 euros to Abulov and Rovshan Ahmedli, a religious activist, and 2850 euros to the other seven applicants.
