The head of Sumgayit organization REAL Hafiz Babali was released from Sumgait police, after three-hour interrogation. According Babali, the reason the summon was the event of REAL scheduled for January 24 in Sumgait, titled "The behavior of the citizen in a crisis." Police is concerned that the ad on the facebook says that the event will pass in front of the bank. Police believe that they plan to hold an action in front of the bank. However Babali explained that there will be a roundtable in the office of REAL. However, the police strongly recommended not to hold an event in mind the possibility of the arrival of a large number of people, among them "may be people who could disturb public order."
The journalist was advised to ask city hall to provide other space for the event. However, Babali does not agree with the arguments of the police, as there have never been violation of public order during the events held by REAL, but to avoid provocations, the event is likely to be canceled, said Babaly.-06D-
