It doesn’t pay to have a voice in Baku. I learnt on Twitter that an Azerbaijani blogger was arrested today. I found that 50 had been arrested but later released. This article from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty says that the youth were protesting against the annual Flower Festival, saying that it was inappropriate given the death of 13 students at the Oil Academy. The page has a video showing youth activists being arrested amidst police sirens and a growing police presence.
It will be interesting to see whether this gets mentioned in local news reporting.
