Prosecutor asks to sentence PPFA activists to four years

At  ​​today’s trial in  the Nasimi court in the case of Dayanat Babayev, a member of the youth organization of the Popular Front, the state prosecutor Fuad Asgerov asked the court to imprison  Babayev to four years, Turan was told  by Dayanat Babayev himself, who is on parole. Today's meeting was  attended by the sufferer Tofig  Salimov, who refused the claim and took his statement back, but the state prosecutor did not  take into  account this fact. 

The defendant's lawyer, Asabali Mustafayev, asked the court to acquit his client.

Dayan Babayev is charged under Article 221.2 (hooliganism committed by a group of persons.)

The investigation claims that  on November 7, 2012 Babayev, along with another activist  of PPFA, Rahim Musayev violate public order in the center of Baku. Allegedly in a drunken state , they insulted Tofig Salimov, and caused him minor injuries.

In fact, Salimov dressed in civilian clothes, introduced himself as a police officer, and offered  the activists to follow  to the police station. When the young activists demanded their identity, he tried to flee. Young people reported it  to the nearest police officer, but they themselves  were detained. The case against the other defendants Rahim Musayev is a separate case. -1604-
