How could these young boys get the incredibly rich and armed to the teeth Aliyev clan scared?
They are unarmed, poor and scarce. Their only weapon against the criminal power is a word of Truth.
It is a Word of Truth that makes the ruling regime fear, especially in the presidential year. The presidential elections will take place on the 16th of October 2013. Arrests of dissentient youth started already in January 2013.
The call of the youth for obeying the law got the all-mighty clan frightened!
These young boys are falsely charged with most unbelievable crimes.
All dissidents in Azerbaijan are surely ‘drug addicts’!! The charge of drug acquisition, possession and sale (Article 234.1 of the AR Criminal Code, up to 3 years of imprisonment) is hanging like a must!
But this year not a simple fear, but a panic terror has stricken the ruling clan and the young truth-searchers are charged now with large scale selling of drugs (Article 234.4.3, 5-12 years imprisonment)!!
The prosecuting falsifiers decided to go on and added hooliganism by a group of people using force against the authority (Article 221. of the AR Criminal Code, up to 5 years imprisonment).
Public authorities! President Ilham Aliyev himself accused the dissidents of the presidential year.
On the 7th of June, 2013, addressing the Congress of his Yeni Azerbaijan Party the President asserted simply this: ‘Their (the opposition) method of political struggle is not a word, not an opinion, but Molotov cocktail. They rely not on the nation and its will, but foreign grants and money. Their freedom of speech is to whistleblow, besmirch Azerbaijan, lie and slander in the international organizations. Their code of behavior is to slander Azerbaijan together with Armenians, to build a negative image of Azerbaijan’. Finally he said: ‘Undoubtedly, such groupings must not exist in political life of Azerbaijan’.
So, the call for destruction of dissidents was sounded by the President himself. And the bottles with Molotov cocktail were planted in the apartments of the boys and Article 228.3. of the AR Criminal Code (illegal acquisition, possession and sale of weapons, ammunition, explosives) (up to 8 years imprisonment) was added
Aygun Penjaliyeva, NIDA board member
«NIDA was created to promote democracy in Azerbaijan. Our methods: exhibitions, discussion of books and movies, peaceful pickets, flash mobs. We denounce the government repressions against dissidents»
Ulvi Hasanly, Organization for Freedom of Youth
«The mission of the Organization for Freedom of Youth is to raise awareness of youth and students, promote active participation of young people in democratic reforms. About 20 youth activists and journalists have been arrested since January of this year. The authorities want to suppress activism of citizens in the presidential year of 2013»
The scale of repressions and brutality of the criminal regime are unpredictable ….
Zaur Gurbanly has been suffering from thalassemia from birth
Dashgyn Melikov is a disabled person of group II, but finds no mercy of the criminals in power…
For 20 years long they have been bearing the rule crushing in blood people’s wish to freedom of choice.
Way back in the sixteenth century Niccolo Machiaveli warned that one would never retain power using arms for a long while.
“Once I saw: shot flat,
a dead kite was under the partridge.
The partridge was whispering, ‘he who trampled others
will be trampled by them!”
