Another injustice in Russia: for murder of Azerbaijan Fazil Balaeva – just a half years in prison

The case of the murder of another Azerbaijanis in Russia caused public discussions due to too soft punishment for the accused.

The other day in Ivanovo, the second sentence was made by 35 years old Anatoly Breastov. According to the SC, in a fight near the night club, he deliberately shot from a traumatic pistol in his head Phazil Balaev, who later died. Native and lawyer argue that the sodgers did not want to kill. The first composition of the jury came to the same conclusion, but their verdict was canceled.

On the night of July 28, 2019, the Fazil Balaev wounded by the breasts died before arriving soon – a rubber bullet hit his eye.

“Fazil came to me from Azerbaijan just a couple of months before. In the morning his friends called, reported that the son was killed, – recalls the father of the deceased. – According to them, the girl hit Fazil twice, and then caused Before my boyfriend did not even try to talk, immediately rushed into a fight, although the son at that moment did not threaten anyone. I think the conflict could be solved peacefully and not bring to shooting. “

The criminal case was opened under the article “Murder”, sore officers declared a federal wanted list. Nine days later, he himself came to the police and designed an appeal on the obey. The court sent him to the SIZO.

In question interrogations, assured that he wanted to scare a furious crowd with a gun, and pressed it involuntarily when Balaev grabbed his hand. But the investigators did not soften the article.

Although the SC, and the prosecutor’s office, until the latter insisted on the murder article, in the summer of 2020, the jury recognized the chest guilty of “causing death by negligence.” The Leninsky District Court of Ivanovo sentenced him to one and a half years restrictions on freedom and let go home.

After a couple of months, the sentence was canceled and sent a case for a new consideration. The other day, other jury recognized breasts guilty of murder, but deserved condescension. The prosecutor requested the ten years of the colony of a strict regime, given eight plus obliged to pay the family of the deceased two million rubles.

“I think this sentence is too soft and has already appealed it,” says the father of the killed Balaev. “For the massacre of pets, they give more, and here the intentional murder of a man is relying for it up to 15 years in prison. I am completely incomprehensible. Why some are trying to put breasts almost hero. “

the defenders of the accused did not agree with the verdict. “We were initially not satisfied with the qualification of the article of the accusation,” said the lawyer Oleg Bibik. “The shot happened by chance, when the Phazile picked in his hand. He himself does not deny that he is guilty, but obviously not in intentional murder.”

If the defendant’s arguments are listened to the arguments of the accused, the criminal case will be sent on the third consideration. However, judging by the confusion of both sides, the point in this resonant history will not be sent soon.
