Ten people are arrested in Saatli region during a protest action

Today a group of residents  of Saatli region  tried to  make  picket in front of the Executive Power of the  region, in protest against the tyranny of officials "who have eaten the" finance allocated by the government to  eliminate the consequences of the floods in May and June 2010. However, the police dispersed the crowd, detaining 10 people. Duty Officer of the executive power of Saatli region refuse to comment on the situation.
