The massacres in Baku -- police lawlessness

On February 13, at about 13:00 local time, a group of religios guys decided to hold a peaceful march in memory of the death of the Prophet Muhammad from the subway Nizami to Shehidlyar Hiyabany. The purpose of the march was to lay a wreath at the Martyrs' Alley , paying homage to martyrs.

Near the
Azdrammy area, the group was stopped by the police, but after several minutes of negotiations, a group consisting of 100-150 boys was allowed to march. Accompanied by 10 machines with police officers, the guys came to the monument of Narimanov, but subsequent events have fully confirmed the opinion of godlessness of our police and of breakbone resolution methods for such processions.

It is not clear after whose order, the group was banned from continuing the march, despite the fact that only a few hundred meters were left to reach the Shehidlyar Xiyabani . Batons and ruthless methods were used to disperse the peaceful march that turned into a bloody clash. Tens of faithful children were severely beaten with batons, many of them got fractures. Ambulances refused to provide first aid. Many of the marchers were detained and forcibly sent to the 26th police department.
