Baku/17.10.21/Turan: The head of the Center for the Protection of Freedom of Religion and Conscience and the online publication deyerler.org, Shiite theologian Ilgar Ibrahimoglu, was detained. On the evening of October 19, Ibrahimoglu told live on Facebook that law enforcement officers had come to his house and he was going there himself. After that, he stopped communicating.
Later, human rights activist Rufat Safarov said that a search had been carried out in Ibrahimoglu's house, and he himself was taken away by employees of the State Security Service. It was not possible to get comments from this department. In the 2000s Ibrahimoglu combined human rights work with religious activities.
After the 2003 presidential elections, when there were mass arrests of oppositionists, Ibrahimoglu also ended up in prison. However, he received a suspended sentence and was soon released.
For some time he continued to lead the religious community of the Juma mosque in Icheri-Sheher (historical part of Baku). However, in 2005 the authorities took away the mosque from this community. Subsequently, Ibrahimoglu conducted religious sermons via the Internet.
In recent years, the human rights work of the Center he heads has been unnoticed. — 06В-
