The representatives of the Committee to Protect Civil Society and the Alliance Azerbaijan without Political Prisoners visited the families of three political prisoners on Wednesday. The meeting with the relatives of the political prisoners Saraj and Faraj Kerimli, Nemat Panahli and Mammad Ibrahim was timed to the holiday of Novruz.
"We decided to hold meetings with families on the holiday to congratulate them and express moral solidarity of civil society with them," said the former political prisoner Avaz Zeynalli.
During the holiday, visits of other political prisoners are also scheduled.
The leader of the National Statehood Party Nemat Panahli was sentenced to six years' imprisonment on bogus charges for beating a man on June 17, 2011. He is recognized as a political prisoner by the Alliance Azerbaijan without Political Prisoners.
The opposition activists Faraj and Saraj Kerimli were sentenced to 6.5 and 6 years of imprisonment on charges of illegal drug trafficking in 2015. Amnesty International has announced Faraj and Siraj Kerimli prisoners of conscience and called for their immediate release.
The advisor to the Chairman of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan Mammad Ibrahim was sentenced to three years' imprisonment on charges of hooliganism on March 15, 2016. Mamed Ibrahim is included in the list of political prisoners in Azerbaijan, compiled by local human rights activists, journalists, lawyers and other civil society activists. -0-

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
