Vugar Aliyev, head of the Administration sector, met with five of the protesters to clarify the situation. He promised to inform Ali Hasanov, head of the socio-political department, about these developments.
Yeni Musavat correspondent Roya Rafiyeva was subject to pressure while photographing the police during the protest. She had forcefully been taken into a police car and was released only after being kept there for 20 minutes.
