Reporter Detained
Baku / 24.09.20 / Turan: Reporter Anar Abdullayev was detained today in front of the Ministry of Education while covering the protest action of a teacher from Siyazan Jeyran Rahbari.
According to witnesses from the scene, during filming Abdullayev was attacked.
“We were filming, and at that moment the police demanded our service certificates. Suddenly, Tural Garayev appeared, who, having told Anar: “You work for the Freemasons,” began waving his arms and insulting him. Police officers detained both of them and took them to the 18th police station of the Narimanov district. They have already been there for an hour,” said journalist Ulviya Ali.
Tural Garayev is known for attacking the minor daughter of opposition politician Fuad Gahramanli on April 17, 2019. After a complaint by the teen's mother, Garayev was arrested for 15 days on charges of petty hooliganism. —06D-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
