Human Rights Commissioner Elmira Suleymanova submits annual report to parliament

She said the Commissioner’s office addressed 8800 letters, including 7365 complaints last year. The complaints were mostly about the bureaucracy and indifference of some local officials, which forced the citizens to address the central governmental agencies.

Suleymanova said she rejected 48.9% of the complaints because of time limitation more than a year, anonymity, court proceedings, and non-presence of new facts and evidences in the follow letters. 44.7% of the complaints were addressed, which is appropriate to the European and post-Soviet indexes.
