    Baku police break up anti-Israeli Muslim protests



    Baku, August 26, Interfax - Police officers have broken up
    unauthorized protests staged by Azeri Muslims outside the Israeli
    Embassy and the Bibi Heybat Mosque in Baku.

    The demonstrators were chanting "Down With Israel!", "Freedom to
    Prisoners!", "Freedom to Karabakh!", "Freedom to Al-Quds!", and "Death
    to America!"

    Some of them were detained by police.

    The protests were timed to coincide with Al-Quds (the Arabic name for
    Jerusalem) Day, which is celebrated on the last Friday of Ramadan at
    the initiative of Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
