Opposition politicians have condemned the criminal case against human rights activist Rufat Safarov, who was arrested the day before on suspicion of "fraud" and "hooliganism." Ali Kerimli, leader of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA), stated that Safarov is the most courageous and active human rights defender in the country. "At one point, he refused to serve in the Prosecutor's Office and became a political prisoner. He is a lawyer and a human rights defender, and for this, he became a target for the authorities. In the coming days, he was supposed to fly to the United States to receive an award for his human rights work. The authorities fabricated this criminal case to prevent this. I urge the authorities to drop the slanderous charges against Safarov and release him," Kerimli wrote on Facebook.
