Another member of this party, Sahladar Iskenderli, was arrested for 25 days. Both were found guilty under the Article 535.1 (non-compliance with police requirements) of the Code of Administrative Misconduct, the press service of the PFPA.
Both activists were detained on March 30 at a protest rally in front of the Ministry of Justice in defense of PFPA member Zamin Salayev, who is on a hunger strike for the 53rd day in Baku Pre-trial-detention center N1 demanding release.

The Yasamal district Court confirmed the information about the arrest of the oppositionists.
Earlier, the PFPA announced the detention of more than 50 activists at the March 30 rally, most of whom were released a few hours later.

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.
