Another Political Prisoner Facing New Charge at End of His Term
Baku / 10.22.18 / Turan: The authorities have laid the foundation for a very bad tendency - they put forward new accusations to political prisoners who are completing their sentences and send them to prison again. This was announced to Turan by the coordinator of the Center for the Protection of Political Prisoners, Oktay Gyulaliyev.
He said the former Minister of Health Ali Insanov, who after 11 years in jail was accused of illegal drug possession in prison, was given another 7 years of imprisonment. The same fate befell the activist of the Popular Front Party Mammad Ibrahim recently. "Unfortunately, this vicious practice has not ended," said the human rights activist.
In late September, a new case was opened against the religious activist Telman Shiraliyev. He was sentenced to 6 years in prison after participating in a protest rally on October 5, 2012 in front of the Ministry of Education. A week before his release, a bradawl was "found" under his pillow and he was accused under Article 317-2.1 (manufacture, storage and carrying a prohibited object in a penitentiary).
According to the human rights activist, the real reason for the new accusation is Shiraliyev"s refusal to write a petition for clemency. Gyulaliyev believes that by so doing the authorities force fear on the citizens.
"However, by such actions they only fuel hatred to themselves," said Gyulaliyev. -05С06--

The Business Continuity test of Azercell's CMG project was conducted in the Alat Free Economic Zone. A real-time Business Continuity test of the CMG – Crisis Management Group of Azercell, which is a leading mobile operator in the country, was conducted in the Alat Free Economic Zone. For implementation of the first tests Azercell was partnering with Azercosmos, Aztelekom, and Baktelecom. During the simulation, a crisis was created by completely cutting off communication in the designated area. Technical teams from the regions arrived at the scene during the crisis drill, initiating efforts to restore communication. Initially, groups installed two mobile Base Stations in the area, providing 2G service to a limited number of subscribers using facilities of the national satellite. In the next stage, high-speed internet, 3G, and 4G networks were restored, and the area was equipped with 100-megabit Wi-Fi service. It's worth noting that in comparison to previous tests, the recovery time was reduced by half in this simulation test. All mentioned recovery operations were carried out by teams from the regions and the groups of experts specially trained by Azercell.
