Lapshin’s wife alarms over not providing her spouse necessary legal support in Azerbaijan

Blogger Alexander Lapshin’s wife Yekaterina alarms that her spouse has not been provided with the necessary legal support in Azerbaijan, and the appointed public defender doesn’t inspire trust at all, she writes on Facebook, reports “Armenpress”. Yekaterina says although the Azerbaijani prosecution announced on providing the necessary legal support to Lapshin, however, this was done 10 hours later after Lapshin was extradited to Baku.

“Why Lapshin was not immediately provided with attorney and translator. Didn’t they find them, or didn’t they manage to do it? In this case why did they manage to send a group of reporters to the airport. Therefore, it is not surprising that after spending a night together with the special enforcement agencies Lapshin didn’t have anything to complain.Even several hours are enough to explain many things to every person,” Yekaterina writes.

She expresses her complain over public defender Safar Huseinov and says the ICRC representatives are not allowed to visit Lapshin for unknown reasons, and Huseinov continues stating that her spouse has no complain.

“The problem is with the attorney who until now insisted that no one of the family applied to him in case when I called him and talked with him both on February 13, 14 and today,” Lapshin’s wife said, adding that various reports say that Lapshin gave various testimonies.

“In other words, the attorney’s mission is to get Alexander’s confession about what he has never done. To convince the relatives that Alexander’s life is perfect,” she stated.

Yekaterina informed that Lapshin will have a new attorney in the coming 1-2 days, thus, more objective information about him will be provided. “But if you see in the media that Alexander refuses the attorney send by his relatives, I think you will understand that he really needs the urgent support of the Red Cross,” she concluded.
