Believers are detained in Lankaran
Today a group of believers attempted to hold a ceremony in memory of the victims of the Khojaly tragedy, but the police did not allow them to do it.
According to the local branch of "Musavat" party, the mourning ceremony was held in the tea-house "Sahil". However, the police chief Huseinov demanded from the owner of the tea-house do not let the believers in. As a result, the latter closed the tea-house and went home. The believers failed to wait for the opening of the tea-house; then 15 policemen came to the scene and dispersed the crowd.
Then the believers came to the monument to the victims of Khojaly tragedy in the central Lankaran, where they imitated the ceremony in memory of the victims. After the ceremony, the police detained three believers who were taken to the police station, and were released an hour later.-05B-
