The relatives do not know where is Nazim Agabeyov

Relatives of Nazim Agabeyova  (brother of the wife of the head of on-line TV "Meydan TV" Emin Milli) do not know why he was detained and where  he is kept.

"I have no information why my son was arrested. We did not have any connection with him. Investigators did not contact us. We do not have a lawyer. I can only say one thing. My son is very quiet man, and he is one of the best programmers,"  said N.Agabeyov’s father, a famous artist Mais Agabeyov. He noted that his son was detained a few days ago, without disclosing details. -06B-

Political refugee living in Germany, the head of the internet project "Meydan TV" Emin Milli said on July 27 that Azerbaijani authorities  arrested the brother of his wife on charges of drug possession. "Nazim Agabeyov, a specialist in the field of Internet technology and my wife's brother  was arrested on absurd charges of drug possession, he faces up to 12 years in prison. This is- revenge of President Aliyev to me personally. Recently, the authorities have chosen this practice -  to take revenge  of the relatives of those who criticized them," he wrote on his page Milli to Facebook. "The EU, US, UK, Germany and other European governments are watching quietly for a while, keeping a good relationship with this criminal regime, for the sake of their business interests. Such hypocrisy makes Aliyev and Putin's regime to preserve its power," he writes.  Turan's attempts to get a comment in the press service of the Interior Ministry were futile. Last week, authorities arrested at least three other relatives of political emigrant and opposition journalists - Ganimat Zahid, who runs another popular Internet project «Azerbaycan saati». By arresting relatives of political refugees, the authorities are blackmailing them, trying to force to stop criticizing the government. -02D-
