Bashir Suleymanly left MDCOC (updated)
Baku / 01.05.17 / Turan: About 18.00 Bashir Suleymanly left the Main Department for Combating Organized Crime (MDCOC) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In an interview with Turan, he said that he was told that the interrogation was connected with information that he was allegedly preparing to recognize the convicted head of the International Bank of Azerbaijan Jahangir Hajiyev as a political prisoner. Suleymanli, in turn, said that the information is not true.
According to Suleymanly, in general, his claims to human rights were not any complaints, and the treatment was correct. Eventually, Suleymanli was released, saying that there were no more questions to him. Earlier in the Yevlakh region, the father of the activist was summoned to the police. Suleymanli believes that this could also be related to the aforementioned police assumption.
Suleymanli explained that lists of political prisoners are compiled by a civil society working group collectively and on the basis of clear and specific criteria. Nevertheless, it is not clear why this topic provoked the interest of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? -06B--

At this time, the car was followed by a white car. Today Bashir again noticed the shadow of the same car.
Last time Bashir spoke with his wife on the phone at 14:05 and said that he would not come, and asked to warn his friends. After that, his phone went off. However, despite this, he is active in whatsapp, I called, I was given a call-off. 40 minutes ago he was active in facebook. Most likely, his social network is viewed by other people," said Kyazimli.
"The Platform of the Civil Society expresses concern about the disappearance of one of the founding members of the platform, human rights activist Bashir Suleymanli," human rights activist Akif Gurbanov said. "We demand from the authorities to provide information about his whereabouts and status.
The statement of lawyer Elchin Sadigov, the words Suleymanly said over the phone to his wife, give grounds to believe that he was detained by the police. Therefore, we demand from the Interior Ministry information about its whereabouts," said Gurbanov.
