Saturday Rally Participants Called to Police

Baku / 23.01.19 / Turan: Persons who participated in the opposition rally on January 19 are summoned to the police stations in the areas where they live.

"Today, the police chief at my place of registration registered a call and asked if I participated in the January 19 rally. I confirmed my participation by reminding that the rally was agreed, and I am a journalist.

After that, he stopped questioning, asking me where I lived," journalist Ramin Deco wrote on his Facebook page. According to him, he faced this situation for the first time. He was never called before and was not asked what he was doing at the rally. "It is interesting that the call followed my number, which I used at the rally. So, the information about me was transferred from Azercell GPRS," Deco said.

According to him, other journalists faced the same problem. So, Mushfig Jabbarov also said the local police inspector called him and said that he was called by the police chief.

"When I asked what the matter was, he said I would find out about it in the department. Then I told him to send a formal summon," Jabbarov said.

Activist Nigyar Hazy also reported that she was called to the police by an employee of the Khatai District Administration Roman Allahverdiyev. "He did not clearly explain that. I asked if this call to the police was connected with the January 19 rally, but he didn"t say anything," Hazy said.

The Internet user Shakir Mammadov said he had been taken to the Sumgait city police department the previous day at midnight and there he was asked about his participation in the rally. He saw about 20 PFPA activists in the department.

"An employee who checked the personal data on a computer said: "He"s old, we have information about him, so let him go," the activist wrote on social networks. -06D-
