An activist of Sabunchu district organization of PPFA, Agaverdi Rushanov was detained this morning. According to the deputy chairman of the PPFA, Gezal Bayramly, he was sentenced to 20 days of administrative arrest for allegedly not subordinating police. PPFA finds it far-fetched accusation. According to Bayramly, Rushanov has been arrested for taking part in the procession of opposition supporters near the memorial to the victims of Khojaly genocide on February 26. Four PPFA activists have been detained in the country in connection with this action.-03B-
