Residents of Salyan region appeales to Ilham Aliyev

Three hundred and fifty residents of Salyan region appealed to the head of state  with a request for fair investigation in the case of the local civic activist Emil Mammadov. The appeal noted that the Association “In Support of Democracy” registered in  2007  deals with social and environmental protection of the citizens of  surrounding areas.

The persecution of the leadership of the Association represented, Emil Mammadov, started after he revealed the facts of embezzlement of funds in Salyan region , reads  the appeal  to the head of state and head of  presidential administration Ramiz Mehdiyev. Thereafter, the executive power of the region  began persecution against Emil Mammadov, and  announced him an enemy. On April 4 an employee of the Association,  Tofiq Qasimov, was arrested on a concocted charge.

Since April 7, the executive  power of the region is forcing government employees to file complaints against Emil Mammadov, and  accuse him of extortion. At the same time,  Tofig Qasimov  was made to testify  against Emil Mammadov. As a result, on May 13 Emil Mammadov was summoned for questioning and was  arrested  for three months.

 Taking into account the above mentioned,  residents of  Salyan region  ask the president of the country to give an  instruction on an objective investigation of the case. -16D-
