According to local media, Bagirov was detained «as a part of an operation to identify Iran's spy network». Over the past year, approx.100 religious activists have been arrested and most of them are charged with drug trafficking.
The list of political prisoners of the «Union for Freedom to Political Prisoners of Azerbaijan" includes 183 believers, 58 of them are MUM members. 48 of them were arrested after December 2021. In the pro-government media, this was presented as "exposing Iran's spy network," but later they were charged with drugs. –03B06-
