Baku. Shahriyar Alizadeh – APA. Baku Court of Appeal considered the appeal of imprisoned deputy chairman of Musavat Party Tofig Yagublu.

Lawyer Akif Alizadeh told APA that the decision was passed at the hearing. According to the decision, the appeal has been rejected.

Nasimi District Court had rejected the appeal on commutation of Tofig Yagublu’s imprisonment to house arrest. The appeal was filed against that decision.

Musavat Party deputy chairman Tofig Yagublu and chairman of “REAL” movement Ilgar Mammadov faced charges under articles 233 (organizing or actively participating in the actions causing violation of public order) and 315.2 (using force or resisting to the government representative) of the Criminal Code. They are accused of violating public order and instigating the citizens to conflicts during Ismayilli incidents on January 23 and 24. They were sentenced to two months in prison.
