Alisoy was sentenced to 30 days. On April 7, the party’s youth branch member Ruslan Nesirli was also arrested and sentenced to 20 days.

Turkel Alisoy is accused of hooliganism while the other two, Nesirli and Gurbanov for resisting police.

Vice President of the Popular Front Party Gozel Bayramli believes these arrests are the result of their political activities.

In an interview with Azadliq Radiosu, Turkel Alisoy’s brother Eltac said his brother and the rest of the members are arrested because of their activity on the social media platforms like Facebook.
