One of the topics was a discussion regarding the holding of mass actions demanding to address socio-economic problems, the issues of the Karabakh conflict settlement and the release of political prisoners.
The issue was submitted for further consideration by the coordination center of NCDF.
As Hasanli noted, NCDF considers topical the prosecution of citizens for political reasons. For these reasons, NCDF’s 18 members are in prison or in exile.
In particular, in prison are the journalist Seymour Hazy, PFPA deputy chairman Fuad Gahramanli, the youth activist Ilkin Rustamzadeh and others.

NCDF, including the leader of the Islamic Party Movsum Samedov, theologian Abgul Suleymanov, and the leader of the movement Muslim Unity, NCDF member Taleh Bagirzadeh, re-arrested at the end of last year.
NCDF believes these believers and those arrested together with them are prosecuted on trumped-up charges.
Hasanli also condemned the use of torture against the youth activists Bayram Mammadov and Giyas Ibrahimov arrested for inscription on the monument to Heydar Aliyev.
