"For a long time Avaz Zeynalli went on air in social networks and talked about the activities of police officers in Binagadi district.

When Avaz wanted to take video of what was happening, he was insulted by a police officer," the spouse reported. Following the dispute that arose between a police officer and a journalist, the police officer took him to the Fourth police station, she noted. According to the spouse, she had already received a warning that her husband would be punished.
