Court Leaves Activist of PFPA Babek Hasanov in Custody

Baku / 04.08.18 / Turan: On 4 August, the Nasimi District Court of Baku rejected a petition for transferring Babek Hasanov, member of the Supreme Mejlis of the Popular Front Party (PFPA) of Azerbaijan, to house arrest.

During the meeting, the activist stated he did not consider himself guilty.

The court, however, did not take into account the arguments of the defense and did not take into account Hasanov's participation in the Karabakh war.

An appeal will be filed against the decision of the court, the PFPA reported.

* On May 25, the PFPA activists Aghil Maharramov, Ruslan Nasirli and Babek Hasanov were arrested. They were attracted to investigation together with the former head of the Gadabay region Saleh Rustamov and his nephew Vidadi Rustamli. They were accused of "laundering dirty money", which was expressed in the transfer of PFPA donations collected from Azerbaijani businessmen in Russia.

The accused men are recognized as political prisoners by human rights activists. -06B-
