Scheduled for today in the Baku Court of Grave Crimes, the preliminary hearing on the case of an activist of the party Musavat Faraj Kerimli did not take place.
The reason was the illness of the judge Shakyar Mammadov. The meeting was postponed indefinitely, said the Committee to Protect Kerimli.
Note that the February 19 meeting was also postponed because of Kerimli’s refusal of the services of a public lawyer.
Kerimli was arrested on July 23 and on July 24 the court arrested him for three months. On the same charges on July 17, the activist’s brother Siraj Kerimli was arrested.
In Musavat they believe that the brothers Kerimli are persecuted for their opposition activities and activity on Facebook.
After his arrest, Kerimli was elected deputy chairman of Musavat in absentia. Both brothers are recognized by Amnesty International as prisoners of conscience. -06B-

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
