Nine Azeri residents detained for visiting Karabakh

Residents of the Agdam District tried to enter non-demined territories' policemen have detained them, the Azerbaijan Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) has informed.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that residents of Azerbaijan were repeatedly detained for entering non-demined territories. In April, residents of Azerbaijan, Zamir Akhmedov and Zamig Farzaliev penetrated the territory of Fizuli District, aiming to collect non-ferrous metal there. While trying to escape from law enforcers in a car, the driver knocked down a policeman and two military servicemen.

Nine people have tried to move from Chemenli village to non-demined territories, the "Report.Az" has informed.

Let us remind you that Azerbaijani authorities have banned Azeri citizens from visiting the territories that have come under Baku's control. Both marauders and forced migrants who want to visit their minor homeland are trying to get there. Thus, in March, six Azerbaijani citizens wanted to get to the village of Yusifdjanly in the Agdam District. Five of them got blown up by anti-personnel mine: two perished and were wounded.

  • Compensation decrease for illegal prosecution violates rights of KBR resident

    The court ruling, which awarded Madin Gubzhokov compensation of 30,000 roubles for unlawful criminal prosecution, is incomparable with the moral harm caused by the actions of Azamat Kyaov, a former law enforcer. The amount is ridiculous and should be appealed against, lawyers and human rights defenders have stated.
