Baku/25.05.20/Turan: On May 25, the Sabirabad district court of Baku sentenced the assistant to the head of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan, Faig Amirli, to 15 days of administrative arrest.
He is found guilty under the Article 510 (petty hooliganism) of the Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO), said his wife Lala Amirli.
“Our whole family arrived in the village of Rustamli, Sabirabad region, to visit Father Faig. At about 3 p.m. a police officer came with a plainclothes face and said that the chief wanted to see Faig. He went with them. At around 19:00 Faig called and said that he was given 15 days of arrest,” Amirli said.
This is Amirli’s second arrest in the past two months.
Earlier, on April 8, he was given 30 days on charges of "violating the quarantine regime."
PFPA considers Amirli’s arrest politically motivated.
The party noted that since the beginning of the quarantine regime, about 30 party activists have been subjected to administrative arrests, and three have been prosecuted.
It was not possible to receive comments at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Earlier, the department rejected the political background of the arrests of PFPA activists and claimed that they were involved in committing specific illegal actions. –03B06-
