Baku, 30 July: The Baku mayor’s office has refused to authorize a
series of pickets and protest actions that members of the United
People’s Front of Azerbaijan Party UPFAP were planning to stage in
early August.
A press release issued by the party describes the actions of the
mayor’s office as a “gross violation” of the law “On freedom of
assembly”.
We should remind you that UPFAP activists were going to picket the
Foreign Ministry on 2 August and the Defence Ministry on 3 August.
Protest actions were to be staged outside the US, French, German,
Italian, Greek, Polish and British embassies on 4-13 August.
The UPFAP was going to express its dissatisfaction with the
forthcoming visit to Baku by Armenian officers to participate in NATO
exercises in September.
