Even multiple higher fines will not stop the active opposition, a chairman of the youth committee of the party PFA, Abulfaz Gurbanli, and President of the "Free Youth", Ulvi Hasanli. said in an interview with “Objective TV” (obyektiv.tv)
According to the leaders, who were arrested for participation in a rally on October 20th demanding the dissolution of the illegitimate parliament, (and were detained for 8 and 7 days), on that day the police arrested more than 100 people, 13 of whom were subjected to administrative punishment. Activists believe that their constitutional right to freedom of assembly and expression was violated, and they have filed an appeal against the actions of the judge who sentenced them.
Despite the frank bargaining for deputy chair in the video of the former deputy Gular Ahmedova and former Rector, Elshad Abdullayev, the authorities are in no hurry to give
legal assessment of this shameful situation. Therefore, the public has the right to demand an end to this political mess, said youth activists.
The adoption by parliament of legislative measures to toughen penalties, is not the way out of the situation. Dictatorship has always taken inadequate steps, but it does not help, instead it aggravates the situation of the authorities, he added. He advised of the firm intention of the opposition youth to take part in a meeting on November 2nd in front of the Parliament.
According to him, hundreds of thousands of unemployed youth with no prospects in life, have nothing to lose. “They can only find daily work for a pittance. Therefore, the protesters cannot pay court charges" he added.
According to the proposed amendments to the legislation, the penalties for taking part in an unauthorized rally will increase by 100-200 times, up to 1500-3000 manat. The Parliamentary Committee has already approved the amendments and submitted them to Parliament. -17D—
