Azerbaijan, Baku, May 24 / Trend M.Aliyev /
Criteria for the 'political prisoner' term to be prepared by the Council of Europe will not only help in the future work of PACE, but will contribute to the jurisprudence in general, a member of Azerbaijani delegation to PACE, Rafael Huseynov, told Trend on Thursday.
At a meeting of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of PACE, which was held in Paris, it was decided on the distribution of reports on "Reconsideration of the issue of political prisoners."
"If we define these criteria, they must be approved not only at the level of the committee, but also at the Parliamentary Assembly. In this case, they will assist in the further activities of PACE, and contribute to the jurisprudence in general, because there is no exact definition of "political prisoner", no specific criteria in jurisprudence," Huseynov said.
