Baku / 09.11.19 / Turan: Over the past three days, more than 40 leaders and activists of the Musavat party have been called to the police.
This was reported to Turan by the head of the press service of the Musavat party Mustafa Hajibeyli.
According to him, the challenges are related to the protest rally in front of the Baku Executive Power building scheduled for November 12.
The called people are asked whether they will take part in this action. “There are no detainees yet, but the pressure continues,” Hajibeyli said.
On Saturday, the deputy heads of the Musavat party Sahavat Soltanly, Faraj Kerimov and Razim Amiraslanly, as well as the head of the apparatus of the Musavat party Gulaga Aslanly, were summoned to the Baku Police Headquarters.
Baku executive power refused to coordinate the Musavat rally, scheduled for November 10 in the city and proposed to hold the action in the village of Lokbatan.
The party canceled the rally and scheduled a picket on November 12 in front of the city administration building. However, the Executive refused to coordinate this picket.
The management of Musavat stated that it would hold an action in front of the city administration anyway. —06D—
