Gurban Mammadov calls to cut hair

The well-known lawyer Gurban Mammadov condemned physical pressure on youth activists Turgut Gambar, Abulfaz Gurbanly and Ilkin Rustamzade in the temporary detention facility. They were arrested on April 30 during a protest in connection with the fourth anniversary of the massacre of the Oil Academy, and have been sentenced to 10 days of administrative arrest.

In the Binagadi TDF the arrested were forcibly shorn bald.

In sign of solidarity with the arrested the lawyer Mammadov also cut his hair bare.

 “Let all the young people, all citizens who are in opposition to the regime cut their hair bare, like me, and go out to the streets. It will be our protest.

 Let the world see how many opponents of the regime are in Azerbaijan. Otherwise, without solidarity and consolidation, we will not be able to stop the arbitrariness of the regime,” Mammadov said in an interview with Turan.
