When they started searching my bag, I protested and an employee named Parviz slapped me in the face. They insulted me with very dirty words, and then they grabbed me by the hair and dragged me out of the room," Mehdiyeva said in an interview with local media.
Her words were also confirmed by another activist, Narmin Shakhmarzade. According to her, after physical pressures and insults, they ordered the girls to wash off the paint from the doors of the police department which had they poured over. However, soon the chief received a call from above to release the detainees, and the police turned into" lambs", the activist said.
