ISN SECURITY WATCH (Friday, 5 August: 16.40 GMT) - Police in Baku late
on Thursday arrested the leader of an Azerbaijani political youth
group for allegedly taking money from Armenian security agents and
plotting anti-government acts. Prosecutors identified the suspect as
Ruslan Bashirli, of the opposition youth party Yeni Fikir. They said
he was arrested after another group member, Osman Alimuradov, notified
prosecutors that Bashirli had held a secret meeting with the Armenian
agents in Georgia in July. The National Front of Azerbaijan opposition
party called the arrest "an act of repression against the youth union".
