SOCAR\u2019s employees, whilst not state representatives, \u201cacted with the State\u2019s acquiescence or connivance\u201d, and were therefore directly responsible, the Court ruled. It also determined that the police\u2019s failure to protect Idrak Abbasov, who was visibly marked out as a journalist by his press jacket, was in violation of his freedom of expression.<\/p>\n<p>EHRAC, together with Rashid Hajili, Elchin Sadigov, and Zibeyda Sadigova, represented Idrak Abbasov in this case.<a href=\"http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/news\/azerbaijani-journalist-who-was-brutally-attacked-wins-case-at-european-court-of-human-rights\/#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cThis judgment carries huge moral importance to me.

They included several others who were beaten at demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>The attack on Idrak Abbasov\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-europe-17997685\">threw a spotlight on Azerbaijan\u2019s human rights record<\/a>\u00a0just weeks before Baku hosted the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest. It caused EU lawmakers to adopt a resolution calling for an \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rferl.org\/a\/european-parliament-raps-azerbaijan-over-freedom-of-expression\/24592056.html\">immediate stop to all actions aimed at suppressing the freedom of expression and assembly<\/a>\u201d in Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n<h3>What happened to Idrak Abbasov?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Idrak Abbasov had long carved out a reputation for himself as one of Azerbaijan\u2019s most tenacious investigative journalists. He worked for\u00a0<em>Zerkalo<\/em>, one of the country\u2019s few independent newspapers, and was a founding member of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irfs.org\/\">Institute for Reporters\u2019 Freedom and Safety (IRFS)<\/a>, a Baku-based press freedom organisation.<\/p>\n<p>In early 2012 Idrak had been documenting forced evictions and demolitions of homes in his own neighbourhood of Sulutepe, on the outskirts of Baku, by the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (\u201cSOCAR\u201d). In March of that year, he had been awarded the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indexoncensorship.org\/2012\/03\/idrak-abbasov-wins-guardian-journalism-award\/\">Guardian journalism prize by Index on Censorship<\/a>\u00a0for his reporting work.<\/p>\n<p>Residents of Sulutepe came out in protest against a demolition action on 18 April 2012. Idrak, wearing a fluorescent press vest, turned up at the protest and started to film. He was ordered to stop by SOCAR security guards. When he refused, a group of around twenty men knocked Idrak to the ground and beat him unconscious, hitting him with rubber truncheons and kicking him in his head.<\/p>\n<p>Police were present at the scene, but they did not intervene to stop the security guards\u2019 brutal attack. Others, including Idrak\u2019s brothers and fellow journalists, were reportedly prevented from helping him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1627\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1627\" class=\"wp-image-1627\" src=\"http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/63938F66-D0BA-45D9-8DFB-A82C01D25224_cx0_cy8_cw0_w650_r1_s-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/63938F66-D0BA-45D9-8DFB-A82C01D25224_cx0_cy8_cw0_w650_r1_s-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/63938F66-D0BA-45D9-8DFB-A82C01D25224_cx0_cy8_cw0_w650_r1_s-16x9.jpg 16w, http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/63938F66-D0BA-45D9-8DFB-A82C01D25224_cx0_cy8_cw0_w650_r1_s.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PHOTO: (VOA)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Idrak was later rushed to hospital. His injuries were severe. He had suffered traumatic wounds to his head, two broken ribs, and later had to undergo eye surgery as a result of the injuries sustained during the attack. Idrak was treated in hospital for a total of twelve days.<\/p>\n<p>He later lodged complaints with the authorities and requested that they open a criminal case into the attack. Although a case was opened, Idrak\u2019s pleas fell on deaf ears, and he eventually complained to a domestic court about the authorities\u2019 failure to investigate what had happened to him. In 2013 a Baku court rejected his complaint as inadmissible. Idrak\u2019s appeal was later refused.<\/p>\n<h3>What did the ECtHR find?<\/h3>\n<p>When questioned by the Court, Azerbaijan\u2019s Government failed to provide an explanation as to why domestic authorities had not taken the relevant investigative measures in Idrak\u2019s case. The investigation has been pending for more than six years, and Idrak\u2019s assailants have not been brought to justice.<\/p>\n<p>The Court was therefore able to find the authorities\u2019 investigation into Idrak\u2019s allegations of ill-treatment to be ineffective, in violation of his right to freedom from torture and inhuman or degrading treatment (Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights), under its procedural limb.<\/p>\n<p>On the day of the attack, police present at the scene \u201cappeared to have remained passive in the face of the actions of SOCAR\u2019s security guards\u201d. The Court concluded that their failure to prevent or stop the attack made the Azerbaijani State directly responsible for the ill-treatment that Idrak complained of. It therefore also found a violation of Art. 3 under its substantive limb, taking the unusual step of attributing direct responsibility to the State because of their \u201cacquiescence or connivance\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Idrak was wearing a visible press jacket when he was attacked by SOCAR\u2019s security personnel. The Court was able to determine, as a result, that the attack on him was either linked to his journalistic activity or should have been treated as such by the authorities when investigating his claims. It found a violation of Idrak\u2019s freedom of expression (Art. 10) because of the authorities\u2019 failure to protect him.<\/p>\n<p>The Court ordered Azerbaijan to pay damages to Idrak Abbasov.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1626\" style=\"width: 305px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1626\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1626\" src=\"http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ilgar_nasibov.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"295\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ilgar_nasibov.jpg 295w, http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ilgar_nasibov-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ilgar_nasibov-12x12.jpg 12w, http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ilgar_nasibov-100x100.jpg 100w, http:\/\/ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ilgar_nasibov-140x140.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1626\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ilgar Nasibov (PHOTO: Frontline Defenders)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>With regards to the other applicants, the Court found that the Azerbaijani authorities failed to properly investigate the allegations of all of the journalists.
