An Azerbaijani court has remanded lawyer and human rights activist Namizad Safarov in custody for four months on fraud charges. He is accused of embezzling 53,000 manats (approximately $31,000).
27 affected Palestinian residents arrived in Makhachkala, 14 of them were children. At the railway station, the refugees were met by the regional leadership, representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, psychologists, and doctors. They escorted the guests to the temporary accommodation point, where their fellow countrymen who had arrived earlier were already waiting for them.
The first group of refugees from Palestine consisted of 50 people. All arriving citizens were greeted by the Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Dagestan Abdulmuslim Abdulmuslimov, who had attended the first dinner organized for refugees the day before.
“You are our brothers, you are our family. We are very pleased that Allah Almighty has given us the opportunity to help and be with you in difficult times,” Abdulmuslim Abdulmuslimov addressed the Palestinians.
