The law enforcement authorities implement the political order, arresting the most active users of social networks, said the blogger Mehman Huseynov in an interview with Objective TV.
According to him, all the young activists were arrested on concocted charges: drug possession, an attempted of coup, or storage of explosives.
The most absurd accusation has been brought against Ilkin Rustamzade, hooliganism during the dance "Harlem Shake" in a public place and disobeying police.
"I was too close to him and was performing a dance at that moment for videos. This dance is popular all over the world, and recently the members of the government youth organization "IRELI" also dance it in a much more crowded place , but they were not arrested, and even encouraged. The motif for the arrest of Rustamzade is his popularity and activity in Facebook,» noted blogger.
Huseynov has already been brought to justice as a witness in many trials. Investigator in the case of the activists of NIDA Movement also asked questions regarding the objectives of video footage of the "Harlem Shake".
According to the blogger, the authorities have exhausted their fantasy about charges against youth activists. So, a few years ago, all those arrested were declared hooligans, drug addicts, or Islamists, and terrorists.
Then t it became "fashionable" to "overthrow the government"; now it is vogue to use the charge "disobeying the police."
The authorities obtain temporary "victories" after the arrest of bloggers the activity in local networks reduces, but in a couple of weeks, it becomes even greater. "I am also waiting for my arrest everyday, nd once I was made an official warning," Huseynov said. --17D—
