On April 19 against him a criminal case was filed under Article 220.2 of the Criminal Code (mass disorders). Sabirabad District Court sanctioned his arrest for a period of 2 months. He was sent to Baku Investigative Jail. On June 13 212 years Sabirabad District Court took the decision to withdraw the preventive measure of arrest, and the activist was released in the courtroom.
Gulaliyev is a member of the Board of the Coalition of Azerbaijani NGOs for Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI). This organization has recently strongly insisted on the termination of the Azerbaijani government pressure on civil society. –0---
