The injured party in the human rights defender’s case is the State Committee for National Security, which, in violation of the law, is investigating its own case against Ruziev.
Human rights activists are perplexed. According to them, the State Committee for National Security cannot deal with the case of Ruziev, due to the fact that the criminal case doesn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the State Committee.
Recall that the human rights activist is suspected of committing a crime under article 359 part 2 “Forgery of documents” of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
“The fact is that this article is not an issue of national security. This once again proves the fact of falsification of the case against Kamil Ruziev because of his complaints against the State Committee for National Security,” human rights activists report.
In addition, on June 19, the Regional court of Issyk-Kul upheld the decision of a lower instance (City court of Karakol) on recognizing as lawful the detention of human rights activist Kamil Ruziev. The only point that has been changed is the preventive measure – from home arrest to recognizance not to leave. This final decision on the lawfulness of detention is not subject to appeal.
Human rights activists consider the decision of the Regional court of Issyk-Kul unlawful and unfair.
