At the trial, he stated that the hearing in the  Nasimi District Court was  not objective.

In particular, the court did not satisfy his request to watch the  recordings from the security cameras at the place of detention, to send inquiries to mobile operators to determine if he really was, he spoke on a cell phone.

“All this is an indicator of political repression in the country, the persecution of PFPA activists. It also aims to intimidate people so that they do not participate in rallies. However, they (the authorities) are mistaken. Arrests cannot prevent the growth of discontent,” Gahramanli said.

He stated that he would appeal the arrest to the European Court of Human Rights.

Gahramanli was detained on October 31 and on the same day was arrested for 30 days under the Article 535.1 (not subordinate to the police) of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
