Tural Abbasli can be imprisoned for three months

Consideration of the case  of Tural Abbasli, the  head of the youth organization of the party "Musavat", is scheduled for August 7, in  the Nasimi District Court of Baku. He is charged under the  Article 313.2.3 (evasion of public works) of the Code of Administrative Offences (CAO).

According to Turan Abbasli himself, he may be imprisoned for three months.

The Nasimi District Department  for execution of  court decisions received  a letter from the management of housing and communal operational site  N41 that Abbasli  did not performed 220 hours of community service, as an administrative punishment. However, this is not true. Abbasli visited  the management of housing and communal  services, and   was registered there. However, he did not offer to perform any work.

"Musavat" party considers the hasty conducting of the trial in the case of  Abbasli as  his  isolation from the society during the election campaign for the President of Azerbaijan. The party demands to stop the pressure on the young activist.

Abbasli and a number of other activists were fined for taking part in an unauthorized rally on January 12 of this year in the center of Baku. The court fined them 400-600 manat, but some activists refused to pay. Then they were  to fulfill hard  works. -16D06-
