Saadat Bananyarli: "If there is such an alternative, the constitutional rights of citizens should not be violated"

Novella Jafaroglu: “The Ministry cannot postpone this for half a month on its own initiative, this is a violation of the law”

Since August 16, at the reception centers of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population and its departments, as well as in DOST centers, the reception and consideration of citizens' applications is drawn up with a document confirming that they are vaccinated or have immunity from COVID-19 (COVID-19 passport).
According to the ministry, at the same time, citizens' applications to the ministry's electronic services are considered if they have information about the presence of a COVID-19 passport (including in the declaration statement when applying for targeted state social assistance). ...
It should be noted that all citizens who apply to the ministry need social protection, and most of them are sick and old, therefore, they are afraid of being vaccinated against COVID-19. On the other hand, the ministry's decision violates civil rights.
Commenting on this issue, human rights activist Saadat Bananyarli said that this is a violation of the rights of the population in need of social protection. “Let the healthy be accepted, and the sick sent for treatment. If there is such an alternative, the constitutional rights of a citizen cannot be violated. "
Human rights activist Novella Jafaroglu said the ban should have been introduced before September 1. "The ministry cannot postpone it for half a month on its own initiative." The violation can be assessed, but someone can violate the rights of others and infect them. That is, civil rights must be considered from two sides. The actions of one person can violate the rights of another, and the state is the guarantor of the rights of both parties. "
