Baku / 04.01.19 / Turan: Ten people detained during the rally in Baku on January 3 against the new criminal case against the blogger Mehman Huseynov were released. The cases of five more people will be decided by the court on 4 January.
Recall that all those detained during the rally held near the metro station Neftchilar were taken to the 24th police station of the Nizami district police department.
At about 10 p.m., the freelance journalist Sevinj Vaghifgyzy and activists of the Popular Front Party Dilara Mirieva, Sevil Muradova, Yegyana Aliyeva, Gulnara Akifgyzy (Rahimova), Mayisa Abdullayeva and Tarana Tagiyeva were released from the police station.
Other detainees, including the activists Malahat Yagubova and Parvin Abyshova, the blogger Fatima Movlamly, the journalists Afghan Sadigov (chief editor of Azel.tv), Farida Abdinova (employee of Azad Soz) and Nurlan Gahramanov (employee of the online edition Canal 13), as well as members of PFPA Elimkhan Agayev and Sakhavat Nabiyev were taken from the police station to the Nizami district court.
Three women were released after warning. Concerning Sadigov, Abdinova, Gahramanov, Agayev and Nabiyev, the court decision will be announced on January 4.
According to unofficial information, they are charged with actions provided for in Article 510.2 (disobedience to the police) of the Administrative Offenses Code. Under this article, they face up to 30 days in jail.
PFPA activist Dilara Miriyeva told Turan the action was originally planned in front of the house of the employee of Prison No. 14 Ali Abdalov, who gave false evidence against the blogger in order to arrange a "public reprimand" for him. "But we learned that he has a sick mother and decided not to disturb this woman and transferred the action to the Neftchilar metro station, which is not far from Abdalov"s house," Miriyeva said.
* Mehman Huseynov was arrested in March 2017 and sentenced to 2 years in prison under a libel suit filed by the head of the Nasimi district police. On December 26, he was charged with a new charge of beating a prison employee and placed in a punishment cell. In protest, he went on a dry hunger strike. On December 30, the blogger"s health condition deteriorated sharply, and he fainted. After that, at the insistence of his relatives, he stopped the dry hunger strike and began to take water.
Human rights activists are convinced that Huseynov is being persecuted for exposing corruption among high-ranking officials, as well as criticizing the authorities. -06D--
