On the evening of January 9 at the heart of the capital officials in civilian clothes kidnapped the well-known blogger Mehman Huseynov.
The incident occurred about 20:00 near the street Nizami (Trading) when Mehman came out of a café and was heading to a meeting with friends. At this point, a few people ran up to him, two covered his mouth, while the other tied Mehman and bundled him into a car.
His colleagues waiting for him in vain began to call Mehman on the mobile, but it was disabled. MIA does not comment on kidnapping in the city center, pretending that nothing had happened.
The lawyer Elchin Sadigov told Turan the search for Mehman is to no avail. The lawyer in the first place visited the Office for Combating Organized Crime Ministry of Internal Affairs, where they did not answer the question whether Mehman Huseynov was.
At the headquarters of the police of the capital the lawyer was told they do not have Mehman. The lawyer continues to search.
So a new demonstrative abduction of a journalist in the center of Baku is blatant demonstration of violence and the suppression of freedom of speech in the country.
In recent months, Mehman Huseynov prepared a series of video reports about corruption in the higher echelons of government - ministers, deputies and oligarchs.
He shot mansions and villas of government officials, built on stolen money and prepared interviews with workers whom the owners of those houses refuse to pay wages.
These reports have been very popular in social networks and have had a great response, causing irritation of the authorities.
Three weeks ago, a group of people in civilian clothes already tried to kidnap Mehman on the street, but they did not succeed. Mehman made a statement, which blamed the attack on the country's authorities. -02B-
