The Nasimi district police completed the investigation into the PFPA activist Dayanat Babaev and the case was transferred to the district prosecutor's office.
Babaev is charged under Article 221.2.1 (hooliganism committed by a group of persons) of the Criminal Code.
According to the investigation, the evening of November 7, 2012 Babaev, along with another activist of PFPA Rahim Musaev violated public order in the center of Baku. So, being in a drunken state, they insulted the citizen Tofig Salimov and caused him minor injuries.
In fact, according to PFPA, this man (Salimov) introduced himself as an employee of the Interior Ministry and suggested that the activists follow him to the police station. When the youth activists demanded his submission of the business card, he tried to flee. In this case, the activists reported to the police officer nearby, but they were detained themselves.
On November 17 Babaev was arrested at a rally in Baku for 7 days at the expiration of which the police made a submission in respect of the selection of his measure - detention for a criminal case. However, the court rejected the idea, and Babaev was taken just a subscription of not leaving.
Now, with the completion of the investigation and referral of the case to the prosecutor for approval, the activist fears that the question of measure of restraint – arrest may arise again.
According to him, the case against the other defendant Rahim Musaev is tried separately.
PFPA believes that Babaev is persecuted for political reasons for his active participation in the protests.
