Baku / 13.01.20 / Turan: Three activists of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA) were subjected to administrative punishment on January 13. Nijat Abdullazadeh and Jeyhun Novruzov were fined 50 manat each for “petty hooliganism”. And Elzamin Salayev received 30 days of arrest for "not subordinating to the police." All three were detained in a cafe in the Sabail district of Baku.
“We ordered food. Suddenly, a group of people appeared who introduced themselves as employees of the Baku Police Headquarters and detained us. We were taken for examination in order to check the presence of alcohol in the blood. I have not been found. And Jeyhun and Elzamin were found traces of alcohol. A protocol was drawn up that we allegedly swore in front of the cafe. Jeyhun and I were fined 50 manat. And Elzamin was taken to court,” Abdullazadeh told Turan.
Later it became known that Salayev was sentenced to 30 days of administrative arrest.
Abdullazadeh believes that Salayev was arrested for distributing negative videos about an employee of the Salyan district police on the Internet.
