Baku / 28.06.19 / Turan: The Musavat party's headquarters was surrounded by police on Friday afternoon and the police did not allow anyone to enter the building. Turan was told by the head of the party"s press service, Mustafa Hajibeyli.
This situation lasted for one day. "We were told that we are not advised to enter the headquarters and are not allowed to do this. However, several people remained in the building," said Hajibeyli.
According to Hajibeyli, on June 28, he himself was called to the Binagadi district execution and probation department of the Ministry of Justice. "When a charity marathon was being conducted at the headquarters and the police entered the building, a call arrived on my phone and I was urgently called to the aforementioned department. They took my fingerprints. My lawyers said this department did not have such powers. When I returned, I was not allowed to the headquarters," he said, saying that his call to this department was connected with the Marathon of Solidarity, which was organized at the headquarters of Musavat by the Committee against Repression and Torture on June 28.
