Baku / 27.11.19 / Turan: The day before, the police broke a memorial event in one of the private houses in the Mashtaga settlement for members of the Muslim Unity Movement (MUM) who were killed during a special operation in Nardaran on November 26, 2019.
After reading the Koran, when food was being served on the table, police officers came into the house and demanded that the event be stopped.
In order to avoid confrontation, members of Muslim Unity left the premises, the MUM press service said in a statement.
The deputy chairman of the MUM Elchin Gasimli and the house owner were summoned to the Sabunchu district police department today at 10.00.
By 11.30, both were released, after taking explanatory notes from them.
According to Gasimli, they were told that the holding of such events is "not allowed."
And the house owner was warned that if this happens again, a criminal case will be launched against him, Gasimli said.
Recall that during a special operation in Nardaran on November 26, 2016, the MUM leader Taleh Bagirzadeh and a group of his associates were arrested. Then two police officers and four members of the MUM were killed. — 06D-
