Late in the evening on February 4 a spontaneous protest was held in Terter. The reason for the discontent was the police action, and in particular the death of a resident of the Agdam region Dunyamaliyev in the district police department. His relatives claim that clear signs of torture can be seen on the corpse of the deceased, although the police claim that the victim hanged himself.
Dunyamaliyev was arrested on charges of drug trafficking in January, but they could not prove his guilt.
The news of his death caused a commotion in the town, which was attended by about a hundred people. Relatives and friends of the victim smashed the windows of the district police department, where Dunyamaliyev died.
To contain the protesters, the authorities brought internal troops to the area.
Clashes took place between the security forces and the protesters. There are victims, according to local residents.
However, management of the Terter Police denied reports about the opposition.
According to the police, the people went away after the conversation with them. -0-
