Businessman protested against the authorities is convicted
Today, the Neftechala District Court sentenced a local businessman, Natig Huseynov, to 1.5 years in prison on charges of resistance to the police, according to the head of the regional NGO "democracy assistance", Emil Mammadov.
The businessman denied the charges, saying that the case was fabricated because of his active civil position and the protection of his rights. The prosecutor asked the court to sentence Huseynov to 2.5 years in prison.
Huseynov was arrested in May of this year, after along with three area residents he began a hunger strike to protest against the arbitrariness of local authorities.
The next day, when Huseynov and two his sons went to the post office, they were all arrested and taken to the police station. Children were released, and the father was charged under Article 315.1 (resistance to authority).
According to his relatives, the businessman is being persecuted at the instruction of the head of the district administration, Ismail Veliyev, who wants to close the clothing market belonging to Huseynov in order to eliminate competition to own business.
Previously, Huseynov was deprived of a license to fish in the Mil-Mugan collector.
It is noteworthy that Huseynov is second group invalid. He received a disability during the events of January 1990, when he pulled a Soviet Flag from the building of the District Committee , and was arrested and beaten by the Soviet militarists. He was released only in 1992, when the Popular Front was in power. -06B-
