Baku/21.06.21/Turan: Today, relatives of the "Ganja case" defendants tried to hold a protest action in front of the Presidential administration. However, the police suppressed the action removing its participants chanting slogans "Freedom to the Ganja prisoners" from the territory on buses. No detainees reported.
The relatives of the accused appealed to the President and the first President to release the arrested persons in view of their innocence.
It should be recalled that on July 3, 2018, an attempt was made against the head of the executive power of the city of Ganja, Elmar Veliyev. A resident of Ganja, Yunis Safarov, wounded him and his bodyguard.
After that, a protest action was scheduled to be held on July 10 in front of the Ganja administration building. On the same day, riots broke out in the city following which two policemen were killed. That was followed by mass arrests of believers and other persons.
