Baku / 04.24.19 / Turan: After a one-year break from April 14, the advocacy of two lawyers Asabali Mustafayev and Nemat Karimli was restored.
The powers of the lawyers were suspended by the Bar Association of the Republic of Azerbaijan on April 23, 2018 for a period of one year on the basis of a complaint of the First Deputy Prosecutor General Rustam Usubov. The lawyers were accused of "politicization of cases", respectively, of the Deputy Chairman of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan, Gezal Bayramli, and the journalist Afgan Mukhtarly.
Human rights activists regarded the removal of these lawyers as a political decision, due to the fact that both acted as advocates for "high-profile political affairs."
Note that Gezal Bayramly was arrested in May 2017 and subsequently sentenced to 3 years in prison. She was released in March of this year with a pardon order.
Afgan Mukhtarly was arrested in May 2017 and sentenced to 6 years in prison on charges of smuggling, illegal border crossing and violence against a border guard.
Bayram and Mukhtarly were recognized by human rights organizations as political prisoners. -06D--

The Business Continuity test of Azercell's CMG project was conducted in the Alat Free Economic Zone. A real-time Business Continuity test of the CMG – Crisis Management Group of Azercell, which is a leading mobile operator in the country, was conducted in the Alat Free Economic Zone. For implementation of the first tests Azercell was partnering with Azercosmos, Aztelekom, and Baktelecom. During the simulation, a crisis was created by completely cutting off communication in the designated area. Technical teams from the regions arrived at the scene during the crisis drill, initiating efforts to restore communication. Initially, groups installed two mobile Base Stations in the area, providing 2G service to a limited number of subscribers using facilities of the national satellite. In the next stage, high-speed internet, 3G, and 4G networks were restored, and the area was equipped with 100-megabit Wi-Fi service. It's worth noting that in comparison to previous tests, the recovery time was reduced by half in this simulation test. All mentioned recovery operations were carried out by teams from the regions and the groups of experts specially trained by Azercell.
