Additional information:

Blogger Elmar Aziz was summoned to the Pirallakhi District Police Department of Baku. The reason for this was a video he circulated about the traffic police officers. As Aziz said earlier, on November 30, he filmed a video of road police officers taking bribes from drivers in the Gala settlement and shared it on Facebook. In the Pirallahi Police Department, and then in the Main Police Department of Baku he was put under pressure - he was forced to delete the video, demanded not to tell about it, and threatened of being detained. However, Aziz told the media about the incident.
