Azerbaijani activists protest U.S. Congressman Frank Pallone, demand apology and legal action
On November 17, a group of NGO leaders and public activists in Azerbaijan staged a protest outside the hotel where U.S. Congressman Frank Pallone, known for his anti-Azerbaijan stance and pro-Armenian remarks, is staying, Azernews reports.
The protesters are calling for Pallone to apologize to the Azerbaijani people and for criminal charges to be filed against his security guards, who allegedly used violence against activists during a peaceful demonstration the previous day.
The ongoing protest has seen activists signing a petition urging the **Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan** to launch a criminal case against Pallone's security team. Additionally, the protesters are demanding that Pallone be held accountable for his defamatory statements and his past actions, including illegally crossing Azerbaijan's borders multiple times during the occupation period.
NGO representatives emphasized that the protest is a peaceful call for justice, urging legal action against Pallone for his inflammatory campaigns against Azerbaijan.
