Musavat Activist Banned from Leaving Azerbaijan
Baku /21.08.20/ Turan: Azad Hasanov, a member of the Musavat party, arrested in 2018 and sentenced to a year of imprisonment, has been banned from leaving the country. Hasanov himself told Turan about this.
According to him, despite the expiration of the sentence, he is not allowed out of the country.
“Last August I was released from custody. In April this year, the trial period expired. I have a relevant document from the Surakhani District Execution and Probation Department. But on July 24, when I was leaving Baku for Lithuania to visit my family, the border guards detained me. They stated that the Ministry of Internal Affairs imposed a ban on my leaving the country,” Hasanov said.
Since then, he has repeatedly appealed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but has not received an official explanation of the reasons for the ban.
Recall that Hasanov was detained in October 2018 upon his return from Lithuania to visit his sick father. He was charged under Art. 234.4.3 (drug trafficking on a large scale) of the Criminal Code.
Human rights activists recognized Hasanov as a political prisoner. In August 2019, the court sentenced him to 1 year in prison, replacing the remaining two months of imprisonment with a suspended sentence, with a probationary period until April 2020. -21B06-
