Additional information:

Eyvaz Yakhyaoglu, the blogger and member of the Azerbaijan National Democrat Party, has been arrested for 28 days in the city of Shirvan on charges of disobeying the police. He was detained on May 9, ANDP chairman Galandar Mukhtarli said. «Eyvaz Yakhyaoglu, was summoned from his home in Shirvan to the local police. The next day, the Shirvan City Court arrested him for 28 days, finding him guilty of disobeying the lawful demands of the police (Article 535.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Azerbaijan). This is obviously a false accusation. Because the man went to the police on the first call, what kind of disobedience can we talk about?», — Mukhtarli said.
