rejected a motion to alter the pre-trial detention of Ali Karimli,
Chairman of the Azerbaijan Popular Front Party (APFP), who was
detained during an operation by the State Security Service (SSS),
Trend
reports.
The Sabail District Court reviewed the motion today and issued
its ruling, ultimately denying the request.
The Sabail District Court had previously ordered pre-trial
detention for Ali Karimli for a period of two months and 15 days.
The Baku Court of Appeal upheld this decision.
Ali Karimli, chairman of the Azerbaijan Popular Front Party
(APFP), and Mammad Ibrahimli, a member of the party’s Presidium,
were questioned at the State Security Service (STS) as part of the
ongoing investigation. Following searches at their homes, both were
taken to the STS.
Karimli has been charged under Article 278.1 of the Criminal
Code (actions aimed at the violent seizure of power and violent
change of the constitutional order of the state).
After a search of their home, they were subsequently remanded to
the jurisdiction of the State Security Service.
Accordingly, the raid on the residences of Karimli and Ibrahim
pertains to the criminal case involving Ramiz Mehdiyev, now under
investigation by the STS.
Former Head of the Presidential Administration Ramiz Mehdiyev
has been charged under Articles 278.1 (actions aimed at seizing
state power), 274 (high treason), and 193-1.3.2 (legalization of
criminally obtained property) of the Criminal Code.
