In Azerbaijan, second group disabled Karabakh war veteran has committed
an act of self-immolation in protest against the violation of his
civil rights by the chairman of Azerbaijani Trade Unions Confederation
Sattar Mehbaliev.
According to the Azerbaijani news portal "Haqqin.az" in the center
of Baku, in front of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions' Confederation Zaur
Hasanov, father of five children poured gasoline and set himself on
fire. Zaur Hasanov's life was saved by the intervention of the police.
Zaur Hasanov was hospitalized.
The Sabaili Police of Baku confirmed the fact of self-immolation
and stated that currently the causes of the incident are being
investigated.
"Once by Heydar Aliyev's request I was given a plot of land in the
coastal zone. However, in 2010, Azerbaijani Trade Unions Confederation
filed a lawsuit against me and by the decision of the court the land
was taken away from me. Despite my numerous complaints to the relevant
authorities, I could not achieve the truth. The little unit that was
on this land, was the only source of my income. I mortgaged my house
in the bank to invest in this property. The PM MM and the head of the
Trade Union Confederation Sattar Mehbaliev took it from me. That's
why I will burn myself in front of the building of the trade union,"
he said before committing the act of self-immolation.
Portal notes that Sattar Mehbaliev is the matchmaker of Ali
Hasanov, the head of socio-political department of the Presidential
Administration of Azerbaijan.
