Baku/11.11.22/Turan: The Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed the fact of the detention of one opposition protester. He is accused of damaging a police car.
On November 11, at around 16:00, a group of people tried to hold an uncoordinated rally in front of the building of the Executive Power of the city of Baku, the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs told Turan.
The attempt was stopped by police officers, and these persons were removed from the scene, the agency further notes.
“However, one of the protesters, who was in a state of alcoholic intoxication, previously convicted R. Mammadov, was detained and taken to the police station because he broke the rear window of a police car,” the press-service reported.

In turn, Zafar Ahmadov, a member of the human rights organization "Line of Defense", told Turan that the detainee is Rovshan Mammadov, a member of the Salyan regional organization of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan.
A human rights activist who was watching the rally stressed that there is a video of Mammadov's participation in the rally and his detention, and the footage shows that he did not break the glass of the car.
