For 5 days were arrested the head of the youth organization of ADP Jamil Hajiyev, an activist of the party Musavat Elchin Dzharulla and nonpartisan Muhammad Aliyev.
During the event there were detained about 65 people. In addition to these 10 other detainees were released after they were fined at 12-25 manats and warned.
During the action, some of the opposition members were inflicted injuries. In particular, the Adviser to the Chairman of PPFA Gezal Bayramli had her arm dislocated.
It is noteworthy that while in the Sabail district police despite the request by the activist, she was not given medical assistance.
Recall, the reason for the resignation of the Parliament was the appearance of a video interview by MP Guler Ahmadova with the former rector of Azerbaijan International University Elshad Abdullayev, during which they discussed the bribe for the election of Abdullayev to the MM. The opposition believes that this video is proof of rigging elections and meant that the deputies were appointed on the lists pre-defined in the Presidential Administration. -06D -
