Rashad Hasanov (Azerbaijani: Rəşad Həsənov, born on May 2, 1985, Lankaran) is a youth activist and ex-board member of N!DA Civic Movement from September 2012 to September 2013. He was arrested on March 14, 2013, a few days after the protests held in Baku against the non-combat deaths in the military.[1] Hasanov was accused in preparing the riots during the protests. International human rights organization, Amnesty International recognized him as a prisoner of conscience.[2][3] He was sentenced to 7 years and 6 months of imprisonment on May 6, 2014,[4] but later pardoned and released on March 17, 2016 being imprisoned for three years.[5]
On February 12, 2017, Rashad Hasanov migrated to Europe. According to him, the reason for his migration was his being forced into collaboration with the State Security Service.[6] On June 7, 2018, the European Court of Human Rights announced a decision on complaints of former members of the NIDA civic movement, Rashad Hasanov, Zaur Gurbanli, Uzeyir Mammadli and Rashadat Akhundov. The ECHR found their arrest in 2013 unlawful, seeing in this violation of the rights under Articles 5.1 (the Right to freedom) and 18 (Restriction of rights for political purposes) of the European Convention on Human Rights.[7]
By the decision of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated November 19, 2021, the criminal case on charges under Articles 28, 220.1 and 228.3 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan was terminated on the grounds of acquittal.
