Dear Alaif Bey!

 

It pains me to write, I feel so bad that you are a victim of the process of destruction of me by the ruling regime.

As a man, as my lawyer, you publicized the torture and abuse against me by that criminal woman.

It is obvious that the regime uses this criminal woman against you, organizing her appeal to the court.

Appointed to September 29, the trial is intended to intimidate the lawyers and deprive the "prisoners of conscience" of protection.

Today in Azerbaijan there have remained 5-7 lawyers who have the courage to defend the "prisoners of conscience". I know the courage and strength needed to dare to defend us.

Better than anyone else, I know of no independent judiciary in Azerbaijan.

And yet I appeal to you: "Your Honor, you have clearly stated what guilty verdict is needed to render the lawyer Alaif Hasanov. But listen and think about what morality and honor you are breaking, accusing the lawyer who defended his client subjected to torture? "

I admire your courage and fortitude, our dear lawyers.

 

Your Leyla Yunus
