CEC postponed consideration of the approval of the leader of the REAL movement Ilgar Mamedov as candidate for president indefinitely.
The reason for this was the fact that the documents submitted by August 19 with Mamedov's signature were not certified in the procedure provided for in the legislation.
However, the reason for that was the lack of timely access of the notary to Mamedov contained in the detention center.
In turn, the executive secretary of the movement REAL Natig Jafarli told Turan that Mamedov's documents were sent to the Central Election Commission on 19 August. In addition, on August 23 papers were submitted to the CEC already with the certified signature of Mamedov.
According to Jafarli, the CEC violated the law by not taking a decision on the documents of the presidential candidate for 5 days in accordance with the Electoral Code.
"The consideration was postponed indefinitely. This is unprecedented in the electoral practice in Azerbaijan. The CEC specifically tightens the approval of Ilgar Mamedov to leave them no time to collect signatures in support of the REAL leader and to deprive him of the opportunity to participate in the elections," said Jafarli.
Ilgar Mamedov was arrested on February 4 in connection with the Ismayilli events of January 23-24. He is accused of organizing mass disorder and resisting police.
The REAL movement and local and international human rights activists believe Mamedov's arrest was politically motivated.
Amnesty International recognized Mamedov as "prisoner of conscience». -06B -
