The persecution of Huseynov and Ahmadov is believe to related to a 24 December 2008 incident in which a group of youth were detained by the Sadarak Region Police and held in the police station until morning. During their time of detainment, the youth were subjected to physical, moral and psychological pressure and their parents subsequently addressed formal written complaints to the Azerbaijan Republic's Ministry of Interior and Republic of Azerbaijan President. Several of complaining parents were dismissed from their jobs and others were held in Police Department for days illegally.
