Civil activist Ahmad Mammadli was detained on the evening of May 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to his friend, fellow civil activist Kamran Mammadli<\/a>, Ahmad Mammadli lost contact around 9:50 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At first, calls to his phone didn\u2019t go through. Now they do, but he doesn\u2019t answer. We suspect he has been detained,” Kamran Mammadli wrote on his Facebook account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahmad Mammadli\u2019s wife, Turkan Mammadli<\/a>, also posted on social media, addressing the Ministry of Internal Affairs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I last contacted Ahmad at 22:11. After that, I haven\u2019t been able to reach him. Where is my husband? Answer me!!!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Kamran Mammadli, Ahmad Mammadli was detained<\/a> by officers of the Binagadi District Police Department:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is claimed that he seriously injured someone. He himself says he was beaten and is in serious condition.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahmad Mammadli\u2019s wife, Turkan Mammadli, told Meydan TV that the charges against the activist are false and unfounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What reason would he have to carry a knife? Ahmad didn\u2019t even use a knife at home. He never gets into fights.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkan Mammadli stated that the real reason for Ahmad Mammadli\u2019s arrest is related to his activism:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“His arrest is linked to his activist work. Ahmad is also involved in independent journalism. He shared court materials with the media. That could also be a reason for his arrest.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The civil activist has also been under a travel ban since January 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 23 of that year, he was summoned to the Anti-Corruption Department under the Prosecutor General’s Office. There, he was told that a document he submitted to the State Service for Mobilization and Conscription \u2014 stating he had been admitted to a Turkish university for graduate studies \u2014 was considered fake, and he was banned<\/a> from leaving the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkan Mammadli said that Ahmad Mammadli\u2019s legal rights are being defended by lawyer Elchin Sadigov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that she still hasn\u2019t been able to contact her husband or obtain any information about him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
