    January 30

    The Azerbaijani police arrested the human rights activists and
    reporters who went yesterday to Ismail region. They were kept at a
    police station for 15 hours, Turan Information Agency reports.

    We would remind you that there have clashes between police and local
    residents since last week.

    socioeconomic conditions in the country are said to have triggered
    the clashes.

    The traffic police stopped the delegation members at the checkpoint
    near the city in order to find out the purpose of their visit.

    transported to a police station.

    The reporters and human rights activists intended to talk with
    relatives of the detained protesters and hear their complaints about
