Although one can hardly call these developments.
I pick up on an entry I wrote about arrests ahead of September Referendum.
So it happened and the authorities got what they wanted. All proposed 29 amendments "received" overwhelming approval from the general public.
In the meantime, arrests and detentions continue in post-referendum Azerbaijan.
Below is the list recent arrests, detentions and sentences:
October 11, member of Popular Front Party Khatai Nabiyev, was detained in Sumgayit and sentenced to 30 days in administrative detention.
October 14, head of Nefchala branch of Popular Front Party Aflatun Ahmadzade was briefly detained and then released.
October 25, youth activist Giyas Ibrahimov sentenced to 10 years on bogus drug possession charges.
Also on October 25th, court extended pretrial detention period of journalist Fikrat Faramazoglu by another three months. More on his case here.
November 3, member of Popular Front Party Samir Mammadov was detained and sentenced to one month in administrative detention for reasons unknown.
November 5, two youth activists Tapdiq Mammadov and Elmir Tahmin are detained and sentenced to 30 day administrative detention for writing graffiti in the city of Ganja.
November 7, Popular Front Party member Vusal Zeynalov was detained in Agstava and sentenced to 20 days in administrative detention for allegedly resisting police.
