While Ilham Aliyev speaks about Islamic unity, more than 200 clerics have been jailed with false accusations in Azerbaijan, says an article in Arannews.ir.
According to the Iranian website, during a meeting with Labor Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev voiced concern about the fact that pressure is used against Islam in some countries.
Ilham Aliyev called representatives of OIC member states for Islamic unity, thanked them for supporting Azerbaijan in Karabakh issue and added, “Some forces deliberately voice negative opinions about Islam and then begin a huge fight against Islam. And we should give a strong response to that fight.”
“While the Azerbaijani President speaks about Islamic unity, he recently destroyed several mosques, banned hijab in schools, jailed more than 200 clerics with false accusations and sentenced pro-hijab activists to 11 years in prison,” the article says.
