The Committee to Protect a theologian Thale Bagirov announced signature campaign demanding his release, said at the press conference today, a member of the Committee, Mirgasim Aliyev. According to him, the theologian was tortured because of his articles, and dissent.

 
 Taleh Bagirov from 2005 to 2010 studied in the Iranian city of Kum, where he received theological education, and in 2010-11 he continued his studies in Najaf, Iraq.
 
    Another member of the Committee to Protect Namizad Safarov said that the charges against Bagirov have no basis. They want to silence critics of the authorities, said Safarov.
 
He did not exclude that the term of Bagirov’s detention will be extended, and  expressed concern that the government may accuse him of espionage and treason.
 
    Committee to Protect Taleh Bagirov further plans to hold actions  in his defense.
 
  Taleh Bagirov was detained on March 31 this year, and two days later, Sabunchu court sanctioned his arrest under the Article 234.1 (possession of drugs).
 
The case is  considered by the Office  to Combat Organized Crime. The real reason for his arrest was his sharp public criticism of the authorities on March 24 sermon, which was spread on social networks. -16D04-
