On May 11, 2023, the Baku Grave Crimes Court, presided over by Judge Eldar Ismayilov, heard the defendant's statement, in which he stated that the police officers from the Sabunchu District of Baku who arrested him began beating him while still in the car. At the police station, they placed drugs in front of him and told him they would film him and that he had to confess to buying and selling them:
"I replied that the drugs weren't mine. Then they started beating me. Several people kicked me repeatedly in the head and body. But I didn't sign the statement."
Then an officer from the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic entered the room and told Samir Babayev:
"If you don't confess to the drugs, I'll also add that they found a gun on you. But I replied that I wouldn't confess to any of that. Then they started slamming my head against the wall."
In his testimony, lawyer Fariz Namazli stated that the Sabunchu Court of Baku, which ordered Samir Babayev's arrest on December 2, 2022, remained indifferent to his account of torture.
