Musavat Activist Released, Fined 300 Manat (UPDATED)
Baku / 09/14/19 / Turan: The Musavat party activist Ilgar Mahmud detained by police was released a day after being fined 300 manat. He informed Turan about this.
According to Mahmud, the Binagadi District Court found him guilty under Art. 206 (illegal use of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, manufacture, purchase, storage, transportation or shipment not for marketing purposes in quantities necessary for personal consumption) of the Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO).
The oppositionist denies the charge and claims that he was detained and fined on a far-fetched pretext. Mahmud said he was stopped when he was driving his car near the "ecological post" near Khirdalan on September 13. Three people in civilian clothes detained him and took him to the 6th branch of the Binagadi district police department. From there, he was taken to the village of Mashtaga to undergo a drug test.
"I told the doctor that if he falsifies the document, we will meet with him and other participants in the falsification of the case at the European Court of Human Rights. But they still falsified the conclusion. The accusation about my drug use is a lie. I have never used drugs. As soon as I get the court"s decision I"ll appeal," Mahmud said. -06D--
