On February 18 police employees of the Surakhani district of Baku detained four sisters, their husbands and children of Ordukhan Temirkhan, a political emigrant living in the Netherlands.
They were required to force the blogger to abandon his political activities and criticism of the government of Azerbaijan.
While in police custody, the relatives contacted on the phone with the blogger and gave him the police claim.
Angered Temirkhan shamed police, demanding the immediate release of his family members, saying he would not stop criticizing the authorities of Azerbaijan.
In response, one of the policemen threatened that the blogger himself would be also “caught and delivered.”
According to Ordukhan Temirkhan, the police that spoke to him was Namig Hasanov, Head of the Surakhani Police Department of Baku. On his orders, the police brought his four sisters, two nephews, a brother-in-law, a niece and a nephew.
A few hours later the women were released and the men continued to be held at the police.
Turan's attempts to get a comment in the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were to no avail.
The blogger himself described the incident as abduction of his relatives, calling the police actions "immoral."
Meanwhile, the police have caused a wave of public anger at political leaders, who regarded the incident as a complete mess of the authorities, demanding that the leadership of the Ministry of Interior should assess the actions of its subordinates. -02D-

In Ukraine, a brutal, bloody war caused by Russian aggression continues, claiming lives, destroying homes, demolishing infrastructure, and inflicting incalculable harm on the environment and surrounding natural ecosystems. Ukraine, more than anyone else in this world, strives for peace, as we bear the daily brutality of this Russian-Ukrainian war. We are at the forefront of the struggle for the right to life, freedom, and justice. Ukraine seeks a just peace that will lay a solid foundation for a stable future for Europe and the World, and the only way of achieving this is to implement President Volodymyr Zelensky's Peace Formula (the Ukrainian Peace Formula).

On the eve of a large-scale flood approaching Baku, a disturbing incident occurred in the village of Buzovna, where a Lada Priora car fell into the ground, literally collapsing the road beneath it. The driver miraculously remained unharmed but vowed to seek justice, promising to file an official complaint with the prosecutor’s office against Azersu OJSC, the state-owned water supply and sewerage company, often associated with deeply rooted corruption.

In a bit of historic irony, powerful oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili has managed to inspire rare unity across Georgia’s cacophonous political scene twice in his life. His money and influence forged the broad-based consolidation of opposition forces that brought him to power in 2012, and now, 12 years and three electoral cycles later, a similar pattern of opposition convergence could send him packing.

Russian authorities and pro-Kremlin influencers have been spreading false information about alleged Reporters Without Borders (RSF) research into Nazi tendencies within the Ukrainian military, which was featured in a viral video falsely attributed to the BBC. RSF exposes the inner workings of a disinformation campaign designed to justify President Vladimir Putin's war narrative.
