Trial against ISIS terrorist detained in Azerbaijan has started

The trial of terrorist Kamran Zulfugarov who was previously deprived of Azerbaijani citizenship, has started. Zulfugarov left of Azerbaijan in 2013, participated in armed conflicts and committed terrorist attacks in Syria.

In accordance with Azerbaijani legislation, he was deprived of Azerbaijani citizenship and the right to return to Azerbaijan by a court decision in 2018.

Zulfugarov entered the country illegally and was detained and prosecuted justice under the provisions of Article 12.1 (Application of the Criminal Law to persons who commit a crime outside the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan), Article 279.1 (Establishment of military formations or groups that are not provided for in legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan and also for illegal activities of associations) and other articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan and arrested by a court decision.

In addition, as a result of investigative and operational measures, it was established that Zulfugarov was trained in a special ISIS training camp in Syria, having mastered the skills of handling firearms and explosives. Zulfugarov's participation in battles on the basis of religious radicalism and religious hostility in the Syrian city of Haritan, as well as armed conflicts as part of an illegal armed group led by Rovshan Badalov, nicknamed “Uncle Khalid”, has been proven. This group is engaged in reconnaissance and terrorist attacks.
