The protesters held posters with portraits of Niyameddin Ahmedov and another arrested activist Zamin Salaev, chanting slogans "Freedom for political prisoners!", "Resign!" and etc.
They called on local media and human rights activists not to remain indifferent to the fate of the arrested PFPA members - Niyameddin Ahmedov, Agil Humbatov, Pasha Umudov, Agil Maharramli.

Police officers demanded that the protesters disperse due to the fact that due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is not allowed to gather more than 5 people.
Then several protesters were put into police cars and taken away in an unknown direction. Among them were journalists Zarifa Novruzova, Fatima Movlamli and Aysel Umudova, as well as human rights activists Zafar Ahmedov and Rufat Safarov, who were monitoring the action.
