By empty (6/27/2003 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Inglab Kerimov, a cousin of Ali Kerimli, chairman of the reformist wing of the Azerbaijan Popular Front Party (AHCP), was arrested at his home in Baku on 26 June. Kerimov, who is an AHCP activist, is the fourth member of that party to be arrested in the past month. AHCP Deputy Chairman Djamil Hasanli told journalists on 27 June that he considers all those arrests politically motivated and intended to weaken the party in the run-up to the presidential ballot, in which Kerimli is a candidate.
