Despite the intervention of citizens, they continued to beat her, the report by the prosecutor's office says.

12 March the above-mentioned persons were detained on the basis of the submission of the Main Police Department of Baku, the capital Prosecutor's Office asked the court to draw the brothers Mammadovs as defendants under Article 221.2 (hooliganism) and authorize their arrest.

However, the prosecutor's office appealed the decision by filing an appeal. It should be noted that Ulkar Isayeva is the daughter of the rector of the University Khazar Hamlet Isakhanli.
