Baku Appeals Court today rejected an appeal of the administrative arrest of Turkel Kerimli (son of the leader of the Popular Front Party Ali Kerimli) and two other young men. Lawyer Fahraddin Mehdiyev reported the update to Turan.
Turkel and his two friends were arrested in the evening on September 22 for allegedly frustrating the campaign posters of presidential candidates.
The next day, Kerimli was sentenced to 25 days' imprisonment on charges of disobeying police. Ulvi Nuriyev and Joshgun Salayev were sentenced respectively to 25 and 30 days in jail.
The leader of the Popular Front Party regarded the arrests as a direct pressure on him by the government. -16D06-
