Bailiffs make inventory of the property in the apartment of Isa Gambar

Bailiffs  are making inventory of property and confiscation in the homes of young activists  who had been sentenced to administrative fines for taking part in an unauthorized protest on January 12 against the soldiers' deaths.

For participation in this event, 29 people were sentenced to administrative fines of between 300 and 600 manat. An action  "5 kopecks" was announced in the facebook - donations to pay fines. According to the  board member of the youth organization "Positive Change", Narmin Rahimli, 13,600 manat were collected, and fines  24 participants were paid. However, five people - Turgut Gambar, Rashad Hasanov, Ulvi Hasanli, Tural Abbasli and Abulfaz Gurbanli principally refused to pay fines. Therefore, the remaining amount of 3200 manat were  distributed to families of wounded or dead soldiers.

Today bailiffs came home to Turgut Gambar, demanding  to pay the fine.

According to the head of the youth organization of the party "Musavat", Tural  Abbasli,  Turgut Gambar’s father, Isa  Gambar said that the apartment belonged to him, and his son was not registered at this address, but the bailiffs  continue inventory. Earlier bailiffs had inventory at the apartment  of  Abbasli.

The bailiffs seized from the apartments of the  parents of Abulfaz Gurbanli , the head of the  youth organization of  PPFA  several  carpets.

The head of the Youth Association "Free Youth" Ulvi Hasanli was stopped in the street and taken to court, where he has taken away  his "notebook" and a mobile phone.

Head of the Legal Enlightenment  Society, Intigam Aliyev, told Turan correspondent,  that the  penalized person does not have any property, it is not correct to  make inventory of his parents’, brothers’,  or sisters’ inventory. For example, they took away Guliyev’s computer which was granted him  for temporary  use  by an international organization, and the mobile phone belonged to his friend. According to him, for not fulfilling the judgment is not necessary to fine  from  AZN 500 or 10 days in jail. Or, according to Article 306 of the Criminal Code, a fine from  100 to 3,000 manat, community service from 160 to 240 hours or 2 years of corrective labor, or up to three years in prison. Moreover, criminal penalties  are apply if the citizen repeatedly refused to execute an administrative penalty. According to Aliyev, the government specifically allies financial sanctions because arrests do not give effect.

As for the situation with these activists,  it is illogical to  repeatedly make them pay fines. The norms on public works actually do not work, because there is no list of these works. Attracting so many people to justice will create a big problem for the government, because  it will cause international  resonance. This will draw attention not only to  inadequate size of the fines, but also to discrimination against citizens in matters of execution court decision. Many citizens expect for   years  for  court execution. On 50 such cases have already made decisions of the Strasbourg court, but against youth activists  court decisions are executed immediately, and political motivation is clear, said expert.-16D06—
