Journalist Shamsad Aga was detained by police during the late hours, his brother Shahid Agayev reported to Voice of America.
"At around 2 AM, an investigator accompanied by 7-8 masked police officers knocked on our door. When we opened the door, they stormed in and began searching the house. They confiscated Shamsad's old phone, my phone, memory cards, several old disks, a computer, a modem, and Shamsad’s press credentials. They then drew up a protocol. Shamsad only mentioned that he was being detained and did not specify the charges," Shahid Agayev told Voice of America.
Last year on July 5, Shamsad Aga, head of the news site argument.az, was questioned as a witness at the Baku City Chief Police Department in relation to the "Toplum TV case." Authorities verbally informed him of a travel ban, barring him from leaving the country.
