Azeri human rights activists denied entrance to Benaniar
Azeri human rights advocates were denied entrance to the village of Beniniar, Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic, said human rights activist Saadat Banainarly who was planning a visit to the village in connection with the recent incident.
The visit, according to her, was cancelled as there was no agreement with Nakhichevan's law enforcement bodies. "We can carry out the visit only in case of obtaining consent from the country's Foreign Minister,» she said. Human rights advocates' visit to the village was coordinated with Azerbaijan's Interior Minister Ramil Usubov, APA reported.
On December 27 (Ahsur Day), the local residents of the village came into a clash with the police. Civilians were reportedly subjected to violence; some of them were arrested.
