The Baku Court of Appeal dismissed the appeals of 6 young activists arrested for taking part in the protest on Fountain Square on December 29.
The lawyer Nemat Kerimli protecting the rights of two of them, Tural Sadigli and Javid Hajibayli, told Turan. It is noteworthy that Sadigli's complaint was considered without Sadigli and the lawyer.
The complaints of 5 other activists were reviewed on January 10 and also rejected.
Four of those arrested did not have lawyers.
Recall that the protest was held on December 29 in connection with the bureaucratic arbitrariness that made the disabled of the Karabakh war Zaur Hasanov commit self-immolation.
For participation in this action the Sabail District Court of Baku sentenced to administrative responsibility in the form of 18 days of arrest an activist of the Musavat party Orkhan Eyubzade. A member of the same party Tural Sadigli was sentenced to 17 days.

Another PFPA activist Turkel Alisoy and nonpartisan Samir Poladov were arrested for 15 days. Another 16 people were fined amounts ranging from 300 to 600 manat. -16B06--

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
