Baku / 27.02.20 / Turan: Family members of those convicted of the Terter case and who died during the investigation tried to hold a rally in front of the Presidential Administration on Thursday.

The police pushed the protesters away from the administration building, after which the protesters held a rally in the square named after M.F. Akhundov. They demanded the release of the convicts on justifiable grounds, the posthumous rehabilitation of the victims of the investigation, and the granting of the status of Martyr to them.
