Politics

Ali Ismayilfiruz

He is one of the South Azerbaijan National Liberation Movement's founders.[13] and the leader of this organization.[14][15]

He brought the idea of "Separation of South Azerbaijan from Iran" to the attention of government officials in Azerbaijan. Because of this, Piruz Dilanchi became the most dangerous political figure for the Iranian Government between the years 1994-2001.[16] He has been a victim of different attacks by Iranian Government since he became very popular and important [17] political figure acting against Iran. Even once a special terrorist group from Iran attacked him midnight in his apartment in Baku trying to kill him. After the attack terrorist group were able to escape before Azerbaijan Intelligence Officers came to the place of incident along with Azerbaijan Police.[18][19][20]

Dilanchi collected about 3000 signatures in 2000 and suggested his candidacy to the Azerbaijan Republic Parliament in order to participate in the next election. His candidacy was officially registered but was denied before the elections by pressure from the mafia responsible for elections. Central Elections Committee ignored the registered candidacy of Dilanchi, citing unfair and contradicting pretexts.

Kidnapping

Dilanchi was kidnapped by an unknown group in front of his house on 5 December 2002. As a result of pressure, the media kept his location secret for 21 days, however, the Press Secretary of the Internal Affairs Ministry declared that he was in jail. After being kept some weeks in the cold underground in inhumane conditions, P. Dilanchi was sent to Shuvalan prison. After 38 days in prison, having been arrested without reason, he was allowed to be transferred to house arrest. After three months, he was freed.[21][22][23][24]
