Baku / 03/19/19 / Turan: The activist of the Popular Front Party, Agil Humbatov, was arrested administratively for 30 days. This decision was made by the Khazar district court on March 16, but it is not reported for what he has been charged, the PFPA told Turan.
Humbatov was detained on March 15th. The party believes that the reason for the detention is an appeal to President Ilham Aliyev through social networks.
Humbatov, a resident of the village of Zira, said that he was unemployed and raised three children, and the local authorities are not interested in his problems, so he is forced to earn a living collecting cardboards in dumps and selling it. Turan failed to get comments in the Interior Ministry. -06D-
