Hotel management "Ambassador" at the last moment banned young activists to carry out actions

The meeting scheduled for Friday at 14:00 at the Ambassador Hotel to discuss the situation with the soldiers' deaths in the army failed. The hearings were held on the initiative of the Youth Majlis. But at the last moment, the hotel refused to provide a room to the youth conference. "We were told that because of us their hotel was almost closed down, so we should get out of there,” a member of the Youth Majlis Rashad Hasanov told Turan.

After that, the young people decided to hold their event at the office of the Institute of Reporters Freedom and Safety.

The reason for the public hearings on the non-combat deaths of soldiers was the last case of the death of the soldier Jeykhun Gubadov in one of the military units in Dashkesen on January 7. The family of the deceased was reported that he died of heart failure. However, the soldier's body and face bore marks of violence. The appearance of these photos on the Internet exploded public indignation on the social networks.

On Saturday at the Fountain Square youth activists also plan to hold a protest demanding the punishment of officials responsible for the deaths of soldiers.

In the Youth Majlis there are some 50 civil society activists from different organizations and movements of democratic orientation. -16B06 –
