Baku, 1 September: The bureau of the central committee of the Communist
Party of Azerbaijan [CPA] yesterday condemned prison sentences for
members of the Karabakh Liberation Organization [KLO] handed out by
the Nasimi district court [in Baku].
The bureau’s statement issued in this regard criticized the court
verdict and described it as “unjustifiably harsh and not matching
the committed offence”.
The bureau of the CPA’s central committee believes that laws must
be obeyed and any offence should be punished. However, the taken
decisions and passed verdicts should match the essence and gravity
of the offence.
[The court sentenced six activists of the Karabakh Liberation
Organization to imprisonment for terms ranging from three to five
years for protesting against the presence of two Armenian military
officers at a NATO conference in Baku.]
