Police suppressed protest by relatives of Terter case convicts
Baku/07.12.21/Turan: Family members and relatives of those convicted in the "Terter case" tried today to hold a protest in front of the Presidential Administration to demand a review of the charges.
The rally was scheduled for 11:00 am. The protesters gathered at Icheri Sheher metro station and from there they headed towards the Presidential Administration. However, reinforced police detachments and the Interior Ministry's rapid response regiment blocked their way.
The police invited the two representatives of the protesters to go to the Presidential Administration. However, from there they were brought back. After taking protesters' statements, the police pushed them back inside the metro station.
People were outraged by the policemen's action. "We just wanted to bring our grievances to the President of Azerbaijan but they didn't even let us pass to the Presidential Administration building," one of the protesters stated.
