Baku / 09/11/19 / Turan: A member of the Popular Front Party (PFPA) Ruslan Amirli, kidnapped on September 10 when leaving the Oncology Center, was taken to the 29th police station of the Yasamal district.
According to the PFPA, he was kept there all night without informing his relatives of the reason for his detention.
On the morning of September 11, Amirli was taken to the Yasamal court. PFPA activists who arrived at the scene were not allowed into the courthouse; police squads pushed them a few tens of meters aside.
In 2019, more than 80 PFPA activists were repressed. Most of them underwent administrative arrests on charges of resisting the police and disorderly conduct.
