Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA) Chairman Ali Karimli and
member of the party’s Executive Committee Mammad Ibrahim regarding
the extension of their pretrial detention were reviewed and
rejected by the Baku Court of Appeals, Trend reports.
The two opposition figures were detained in an operation
conducted by the State Security Service (SSS), and the court today
confirmed that their appeals would not be granted.
