Shafiev and Mammadov were released early this morning; however, they were detained again a few hours later.

Imam of the Juma mosque in Masalli, Babayev was arrested in 2017 and sentenced to three years of imprisonment on charges of violating requirements of religious ceremonies. Human rights activists recognized him as a political prisoner.
All the detainees are Shiites. When it comes to reasons of their detention, most likely, the authorities are anticipating the possible increase in activity of pro-Iranian circles. -06D-
