Baku / 15.01.18 / Turan: The Center for the Protection of Political Prisoners (CPPP) has updated the list of political prisoners of Azerbaijan. As stated by the CPPP in the message received by Turan from the head of the Public Alliance Azerbaijan without Political Prisoners Ogtay Gyulaliyev, the names of Emin Sagiyev, brother-in-law of a political emigrant, journalist Turkel Azerturk, the head of the Shirvan organization of the Musavat Party Alikram Khurshudov and the newly arrested former "prisoner of the hijab" Elshan Abbasov were included in the political prisoners list.
Recall that Sagiyev was arrested on charges of drug trafficking, Khurshudov is accused of hooliganism, and Abbasov is accused of illegal possession of drugs and weapons. However, human rights activists are convinced they were arrested on political orders and face far-fetched charges. Thus, the number of political prisoners has reached 161 people.
Human rights activists are also studying the case of Sahib Teymurov, the brother of the defender of children"s rights, Tahir Teymurov, who lives in Canada.
At the CPPP meeting, sentences on the journalist Afgan Mukhtarly and on two groups of people arrested on the Nardaran events were condemned. -06B--
