Activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev detained
Baku/09.12.22/Turan: Public activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev was detained in connection with a criminal case against him. He is being taken to the Khatai District Court of Baku to choose a measure of restraint, lawyer Agyl Laidjev told Turan. Hajiyev is accused of hooliganism following a complaint from tv reporter Ulviya Alovlu.
There has long been a conflict between Hajiyev and Alovlu, and they mutually accused each other of slander. At one of the trials, a verbal skirmish began between them, which turned into a brawl. After that, a criminal investigation was launched against Hajiyev.
*Bakhtiyar Hajiyev is known as an ardent critic of the government's policies. He was repeatedly detained and subjected to repression.
In August of this year, he wrote a statement to the presidential administration renouncing Azerbaijani citizenship due to violations of his rights. The conflict with Alovlu began after they quarreled because they did not share the kittens from their cats. Domestic dispute resulted in mutual accusations and litigation. Bakhtiyar Hajiyev has repeatedly stated that the authorities took advantage of this fact to avenge his criticism.--- 06B---

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
