AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Azerbaijan fined 4000 euros by the European Court of Human Rights for violating rights and moral damage of Dr. Mohsen Samadov, head of the Prisoner of the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan (AIP) Who was sentenced to prison in 2011 for a speech in their sect.
According to European Court of Human Rights ruling, Samadov's arrest was violation of the guaranteed rights of the European Convention on Human Rights and Azerbaijan should pay him 4,000 euros in compensation for the violated rights of the Islamic Party leader.
Speaking at a party meeting on January 7, 2011, Dr. Mohsen Samadov referred to the Baku government's policies as reminiscent of the Muawiyah and Yazid policies and compared them to the 1937 policies of the communist regime.
He said in a speech that "Today, in our Muslim country, too, our daughters are insulted fo their Hijab... Today, our government is completely at the disposal of the Zionists and the source of the current anti-religious actions in Azerbaijan is the Zionist regime."
Following this speech in 2010, the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan sentenced Haj Mohsen Samadov to 12 years in prison for false crime carrying weapons and narcotics and now he has been imprisoned in the dreaded prisons of the Republic of Azerbaijan for nearly nine years.
On September 11, 2016, Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi in a letter to Haj Mohsen Samadov, who was on a hunger strike in protest of the Azerbaijani government's actions in prison, called on him to end his hunger strike.
