Baku/16.06.18/ Turan: One of the two activists of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA) was disappeared in Ganja on June 13, and the other was detained in Baku the next day. The head of the Ganja branch of PFPA, Bakhtiyar Alizade, disappeared on the evening of June 13, when he left the house to take money from the ATM. Attempts of his relatives to learn something about him in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the city police department were futile.
The party believed that he could be detained because previously the arrested PFPA activist Ruslan Nasirli stayed with Alizade in the city of Ganja. On June 15 Alizade returned home. However, he refrains from contacts and makes no public statements about his disappearance.
Another activist Fuzuli Huseynov was detained on June 14 in Baku during a solitary action on "Torgovaya" street on the occasion of the birthday of the convicted leader of the REAL Party Ilgar Mammadov.
Almost one and a half days the police does not provide information about the place of his detention. Only late in the evening on June 15 it became known that he was arrested for 10 days, and is held in Binagadi prison. He was sentenced to administrative punishment.
Huseynov has been subjected to administrative fines and arrest for holding single pickets. And in October 2017, he was arrested for 30 days after participating in a rally of the opposition. -06D--
