Published in News Digest

By empty (8/21/2002 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Tax officials forced members of the Committee to Protect the Rights of Ayaz Mutalibov to vacate their recently acquired office in Baku on 21 August, claiming that they have not yet signed a formal lease for the premises. Fourteen members of the committee intended to start a hunger strike on 21 August to protest the ongoing trial of five Mutalibov supporters charged with planning to stage a coup in October 2001. "Ekho" on 21 August quoted Mutalibov, who has lived in Moscow since 1992, as expressing support for the opposition's calls to boycott the 24 August referendum.
