Baku / 05.02.19 / Turan: Today at 5:00, the Coordinator of the Center for the Protection of Political Prisoners (CPPP) Ogtay Gulaliyev was summoned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Gulaliyev noted that during the assassination attempt on the head of Ganja Elmar Veliyev on July 3, Sarkhani was not in Azerbaijan at all, although law enforcement agencies suspected him of organizing and being involved in the attempt.
Gulaliyev, referring to the victim's spouse, notes that Sarkhani was never in Syria, as stated in the message of the State Security Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the human rights activist, the wife of Sarkhani, who was seeking the release of her husband's body, was pressured to refuse him. She did not do it, but she also demanded an investigation into the circumstances of her husband"s murder.
Gulaliyev noted that Sarkhani was killed without a court decision. The society should not be indifferent to this. He demanded to give the body of Sarkhani to the family, and punish those responsible for his death.
Gulaliyev himself, due to being in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was unavailable for comment.
