Siraj Kerimli sentenced to six years

"Musavat" party condemned the verdict against S.Kerimli, describing it as a continuation of the repression of the authorities. "This sentence is intended to deter citizens from political activity, and a culture of fear in society. This shows the true face of the Azerbaijani authorities," reads the  statement of "Musavat." The party demanded the unconditional release of S.Kerimli and other political prisoners.

Organization Amnesty International recognized Siraj and Faraj Kerimli "prisoners of conscience.”
