Court of Appeal Leaves Fuad Ahmadli in Custody
Baku / 20.09.16 / Turan: The Baku Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of the PFPA activist Fuad Ahmadli against the refusal to release him under house arrest. The lawyer Asabali Mustafayev told Turan.
According to the lawyer, despite every reason to change the preventive measure, including for health reasons, the court dismissed the complaint.
Ahmadli was arrested on August 18. On the evening of August 19 the State Security Service and the Prosecutor General's Office of Azerbaijan issued a joint statement in connection with Ahmadli’s case. The press release reported that Ahmadli is charged with dissemination of personal data of subscribers to the Azerfon mobile communication company where he worked. Ahmadli is charged with violation of the legislation on operative-investigative activity and abuse of office. According to law enforcement officials, during the search in his apartment they found legally prohibited religious books and CD disks, and leaflets with speeches by Gulen. On August 23, law enforcement authorities reported the merger of Ahmadli‘s case with the case of another activist of PFPA, Faig Amirov, also suspected of collaboration with the Gulen organization.
The PFPA rejects these accusations and calls them fabricated for political reasons. -06d--
