Chief editor of "Tolyshi Sado" and the deputy head of the Talysh Cultural Centre, Hilal Mammadov, was arrested on June 21 on charges of drug possession. However, on July 4 new charges were put forward against him under Articles 274 (treason) and 283.2.2 (inciting national, racial, social and religious hatred, hostility, and ethnic discrimination).
