Karabakh war veteran arrested for 30 days (UPDATED)

On Thursday the  Garadagh District Court arrested an activist of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA), Karabakh war veteran Ismail Rasulov  for 30 days. He was found guilty under Article 535.1 (not subordination police) of the Code of Administrative Offences.  The son of the arrested Elshan Rasulov told Turan  that yesterday his father was called to the 38th branch of the Garadagh District Office, and then was detained.  The family was not explained  the reasons for detention  of I.Rasulov. Only after a court decision I.Rasulov called his  family, and told that  he was  arrested, and asked them  to bring clothes and medicines for diabetes. I.Rasulov is also head of the Garadagh district office of the Public Association of  veterans of the Karabakh war. The PFPA believe that  the  activist is  persecuted for political reasons, for the activity in social networks, and harsh criticism of the authorities.   On his Facebook page the  PFPA leader Ali Kerimli said he was convinced that an invalid of the second group of Karabakh war was arrested by slanderous accusations. It is not clear why he was slandered, writes Kerimli. "However, Ismail-bey, as a veteran of the Karabakh war has always protected  his rights. Despite  he was  been on the  waiting list for apartments for 22 years, he still does not have a shelter,  and lives in a rented apartment.  Ismail-bey  wrote on facebook about the injustice and tyranny in a society, and  his intolerant social status. But the government, instead of solving the social problems of citizens chose the path of repression. That is their true love for Karabakh, to the veterans of Karabakh," said Kerimli. -16D-
