    Baku. Real Jafarli - APA. The famous Azerbaijani religious figure
    arrested over the protest against the expansion of Iran-Armenia
    relations has been released.

    APA reports quoting Oyannews agency that Hojjat al-Islam Abdulaziz
    Azimi Gadim was released from the central prison in Tabriz on January
    29 as term of his sentence expired.

    Gadim was arrested during the protest against the relations between
    Iran's Eastern Azerbaijan Province and Armenia in Maragheh, Iran on
    December 27, 2012. For some time the Azerbaijani activist was held at
    a unit of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and National Security in
    Tabriz. On February 10, 2013 he was sent to Tabriz prison and released
    advance on pawn on March 24.

    The hearing on Gadim's case took place at Tabriz Supreme Religious
    Court on July 1. The Azerbaijani activist faced charges under
    anti-government campaign and participation in unauthorized
    demonstrations. The hearing was held behind closed doors. Gadim was
    not provided with a lawyer. He was sentenced to 7 months and one day
    in prison. On September 18, 2013, Gadim was sentenced to the central
    prison in Tabriz to serve his sentence.

    He was also arrested earlier. In 2005-2006, the Amnesty International
    issued three statements on him.
