Public activist Jalal Javadov has been arrested administratively for 30 days. This decision was made on January 31 by the Nasimi District Court of Baku, which found him guilty under Article 206 (illegal consumption, production, acquisition, storage, transportation or shipment of drugs not for the purpose of sale in quantities necessary for personal use) of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
This was reported by the activist’s relatives. According to them, the charge is far-fetched, since Javadov has nothing to do with drugs.
Activists believe that Javadov was detained in connection with his protest action on January 29 during the municipal elections.
At one of the polling stations, Javadov dropped a poster with photos of arrested Meydan TV journalists into the ballot box.
