Sulhaddin Akbar: The authorities lead the country to withstand

Chairman of the "Open Society" Sulhaddin Akbar held a press conference due to police violence.

On  November 4 the party planned to hold a conference in the office of Sumgait Branch of the Classic Popular Front Party. However, prior to the event, the police blocked the office and did not allow a conference to be held. In this case, they motivated the ban by a gas leak.

At the same time, the head of Sumgayit branch of the party was taken to the police. According Sulhaddin Akbar, when he came to the place of the event, there were already police and men in plain clothes.

"They did not let me out of the car and actually forcibly took me to the police station N3. At first, they wanted to take a statement, but after some phone calls, they change their mind. The police told me not to hold a conference, as Sumgait is developing steadily. Moreover, I was told not to come to this city, " said Sulhaddin Akbar.

"This is a dictatorship, and only people can stop it," said Akbar.

Such harsh methods used to maintain power, can lead to illegal activity.

The authorities are leading the country to chaos and confrontation, said Akbar.
