Baku/18.05.20/Turan: Activist of the Popular Front Party Niyameddin Ahmedov, after serving an administrative arrest of 30 days, was charged with criminal charges under the Article 214-1 (financing of terrorism) of the Criminal Code.

The investigation accused Ahmedov of receiving money from another opposition member from abroad to finance terrorism.

He was detained on April 15, allegedly for violating the quarantine regime. On May 15, at the end of his arrest, he was not released. Akmedov faces up to 14 years in prison.
