Family members of the defendants in the Ganja case held a protest action
Baku / 24.05.21 / Turan: Relatives and friends of the defendants in the Ganja case held a protest rally in front of the Presidential Administration building on May 14. The police intervened in the course of the action, pushing the participants away from the building. There were no detainees. The protesters held up portraits of their children, resulting in a standoff with the police.
On July 3, 2018, an attempt was made on the then head of the executive power of the city of Ganja, Elmar Veliyev. A resident of Ganja, Yunis Safarov, wounded him and his bodyguard.
After that, a protest action was scheduled for July 10 in front of the Ganja administration building. On the same day, riots broke out in the city, during which two policemen were killed. This was followed by mass arrests of believers and others.
According to these events, a criminal case was opened against 70 people. The accused received from 6 to 18 years in prison. About 10 people were paroled.
The trial of Yunis Safarov and 11 others began in January 2020.-0-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
