Tbilisi, 29 June: Ethnic Azerbaijani residents of the village of
Sadakhlo have closed off the main Georgia-Armenia highway since the
morning. Our regional correspondent reports that protesters from the
border village are demanding an investigation into disappearance of
(?Mullah Haji Sabragin Mamedogly Falangov) who was abducted from the
village several weeks ago.
The protesters told journalists that they suspected that the Mullah
was murdered. According to them, a few months ago the Mullah and
his supporters challenged the Sadakhlo police chief Gocha Shubitidze
over bribery and illegal arrests. So, they do not rule out that the
Mullah's abduction could be linked to the incident.
