Police Forcefully Interrupt Entrepreneurs' Hunger Strike
Baku / 17.03.18 / Turan: On March 17, the police of the Binagadi district of Baku forcibly interrupted the hunger strike of a group of entrepreneurs who were carrying out an action demanding the money compensation of their labor by the Sumgait Executive Power. http://www.turan.az/ext/news/2018/3/free/Social/en/69955.htm
The entire 11 participants of the hunger strike were taken to the Binagadi District Police Department.
Some time later, businessmen were released from the police department. But they were forbidden to go on a hunger strike.
Elchin Sadigov, an advocate of entrepreneurs, told Xeberman.com that the actions of the Binagadi district police are completely illegal.
"Police actions are illegal, no one has the right to enter the home of a citizen without a court decision. Intimidation and pressure from the Binagadi police on the participants of the hunger strike should be considered as excess of official authority. We will turn to the Prosecutor General's Office, as well as to the relevant authorities in connection with the incident."--0---

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
