Baku Mayor"s Office does not agree upon an opposition rally Sunday
Baku Mayor's Office did not authorize a rally in defense of political prisoners to be held by a number of opposition organizations in the country on May 18.
The notification signed by the representatives of the "Musavat" party, PPFA, civil solidarity movements NIDA, REAL, and "Free Youth" had announced their intention to hold a rally on May 18 from 16:00 to 18:00 at the stadium "Mehsul" in Yasamal district .
However, reply from the Mayor Office reads that because the party affiliation of the organizers was not noted, it can cause problems in ensuring public order during the rally. After consultations organizers themselves will decide to cancel the rally or hold unauthorized rally, Turan was told by representatives of “Musavat” party. -06d -
