Emil Mammadov was detained by police on May 13 and charged with extortion (Article 182.2.2). Previously, a member of the NGO Tofig Gasimov was arrested. For this article, both faced up to 10 years in prison.
The reason for their arrest was the testimony of district officials that allegedly Mammadovand Gasimov extorted money from them for not publishing compromising materials on them. Gasimov first gave evidence against Mammaedov, and then refused of that.
Mammadov said himself that he is being persecuted by the order of the local authorities because of the information he sent to the country's leadership on the corruption in the Salyan region. -03B04-
