By empty (3/31/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Six prominent Azerbaijani opposition figures arrested last fall for their alleged role in the 15-16 March clashes in Baku in the wake of the disputed presidential election have written to First Deputy Prosecutor General Ramiz Rzaev to protest procedural violations in the ongoing investigation of their case. Specifically, they complain that they have been pressured to sign a statement that they have familiarized themselves with the investigation findings, although they have not been granted the statutory minimum period of time in which to do so.
