Despite contacting the Ministry of Internal Affair\u2019s Department for Organized Crime twice daily and seeking the assistance of the Georgian Embassy in Azerbaijan, she could not obtain any information about his whereabouts.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  She later learned that on 8 November, the Narimanov District Court had sentenced her husband to 30 days of administrative arrest, allegedly for hooliganism and not following police orders.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Asadov, who reportedly renounced his Azerbaijani citizenship two years ago, regularly traveled to Azerbaijan. According to his wife, he never experienced any problems during previous trips.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In Georgia, Asadov advocated for the religious rights of Muslims, particularly regarding property rights of places of worship, and independence from state control over Muslim communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mirtagi Asadov, head of the &#8216;Supreme Administration of Georgian Muslims&#8217;, was sentenced to 30 days of administrative detention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":112459,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-192569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","infinite-scroll-item","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","no-featured-image-padding"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
