Another activist who opposed the war was sentenced to 30 days of administrative arrest on charges of "disobedience to the police."
Afiaddin Mammadov was also detained by police. The activist, who heads the Confederation of Trade Unions of Workers, is accused of applying stab wounds to a man, and he faces up to five years in prison. Mamedov also actively criticized the war. His associates say that the case against him is fabricated.
“When Afiaddin left the building, a man came up to him, injured himself with a knife and threw a knife at Afiaddin. The police immediately arrested Afeddin,” said OC Media activist and Mammad's comrade -in -arms.
According to Memedley, they want to blame the activist of "hooliganism using force." In this case, he faces from 2 to 5 years in prison. Now the court has left him in custody for two months.
“We say“ no ”to the new so -called scenarios of arrests. We demand the liberation of Afeddin Mamedov and other political prisoners,” Mamedley said.
This is not the first case of the arrest of Mamedov. On August 3, he was sentenced to 30 days of arrest on charges of disobedience to police orders.
Ahmedi himself was also arrested for anti -war posts in social networks in September 2022, during the attack of Azerbaijan on Armenia.
Journalist and blogger Nurlan Gahramanla was also arrested on Thursday and sentenced to 30 days for the placement of "forbidden content on the Internet."
According to local media, four people in civilian clothes came to Gahramanla’s house and forcibly took him in an unknown direction. After the detention, Gahramanla wrote on Facebook that he was in the General Prosecutor's Office.
Earlier, on September 14, Gahramanly told the Voice of America that he was called to the state security service for speaking against a possible new war in social networks. According to the journalist, the security forces threatened him with rape.
Nemet Abbasov, another activist opposing the war, was also arrested on Wednesday. The Narimanovsky District Court sentenced him to 30 days of administrative arrest on charges of disobedience to the police.
In a message on Facebook on Tuesday, Abbasov criticized the war. He stated that the only alternative to the "separatist regime" for the people of the Nagorno -Karabakh is "authoritarianism and dictatorship."
"Taking into account the existing conditions and standards, our requirement and position should be coexistence in the context of peace, calm and stable and sustainable safety." he wrote.
On the Internet, after the arrest, one of Abbasov’s friends said that " although the Nemat himself participated in the war in 2020, he currently opposed the war, shares information and is subjected to persecution for this ."
Also, the former Azerbaijani diplomat Emin Ibrahimov, who also spoke out against hostilities, was arrested for the publication of “forbidden content”.
