"Musavat" condemns the seizure of property not belonging to the fined activists

 On Tuesday "Musavat" party issued a statement due to the seizure of property in the apartment of Isa Gambar, the leader of the opposition organization.

The  authors of the statement note that on February 19  the court officers came to the apartment  of Gambarli and began to  make inventory. The reason was the  hat his son, Turgut Gambar, refused to pay fine for participating in unauthorized  rally on 12 and 26 January. Turgut Gambar was to pay AZN 500 for participation in the first campaign, and 2500 - for participation in the second.  Court officers were explained that the property in the apartment does not belong to  Turgut Gambar, a member of the civil Movement NIDA, and  he was not registered at this address. However, the bailiffs have ignored it.

The statement says that lately in Baku bailiffs have taken similar steps, breaking into houses  of participants who did not want to pay the fines. In this case, the  bailiffs did not find out, whether the property is owned by persons subject to a fine or not. Among them  is  Tural Abbasly,  the leader of the youth organization "Musavat", an activist of the organization Elchin Dzharullazade,  Ulvi Hasanli, an activist of the organization “Free Youth”, leader of the youth organization of the PPFA,  Abulfaz Gurbanli.

Authors of the statement regard d the parliament's decision to increase the amount of the fine to "unimaginable size  as a manifestation of political repression  in order to prevent this kind of blackmail and political activity in the country." "Musavat" demands an immediate end the "tyranny and lawlessness." -05D04-
