New charges can be brought against Tale Bagirzade

Today the Narimanov District Court extended  for a month the arrest  of the theologian Taleh Bagirzade. According to his lawyer, Javad Javadli, this is the third extension of the arrest term of  Bagirzade who was arrested on March 31 on charges of illegal possession of drugs.

 
      The investigation motivated the extension by the need to  get an answer from the  religious linguistic expertise  of  Bagirzade’s sermons. Sermons  of Bagirzade were submitted to the State Committee for Work with Religious Organizations. At the same time, drug testing  confirmed that he  is  not a drug addict.
 
      The lawyer does not exclude the possibility of bringing new charges against Bagirzade. According to him, Bagirzade, has  never made anti-government statements, he  only criticized the government, which is the  constitutional right of the citizen.
 
      Today, the Committee to Protect Bagirzade’s rights, organized a protest in the form of a flash mob in front of the Narimanov District Court.
       According to the head of the committee Mirgasim Aliyev, the protesters held  placards: "I and Taleh,  arrest me too," "Tale Bagirzade - Political Prisoners". Police took several placards from protesters, nobody was detained. 
 
      Tale Bagirzade was arrested on March 31, and two days later Sabunchu court sanctioned his arrest under  the Article 234.1 (possession of drugs.)
 
      The case is  conducted by the Department to Combat Organized Crime of the Interior Ministry. The real reason for his arrest  is sharp public criticism of the authorities on March 24 sermon, which was posted on social networks. -16B04-
