The Azerbaijani security forces have arrested 38 people in Ganja,
Iranian news website Ghafghaz.ir reported, citing Azerbaijan's online
newspaper Fakt Xeber.
38 people participating in a mourning ceremony as part of Ashura events
were surrounded and arrested by Azerbaijani security officers in Ganja,
said Ghafghaz.ir.
However, participants were not intimidated either by the security
forces or the arrests and continued the ceremony, said the Iranian
website.
Ahead of this year's Day of Ashura (commemoration of martyrdom of Imam
Husayn), Azerbaijani security forces take unprecedented measures to
ban mourning ceremonies, Iranian news website Arannews.ir reported
recently.
Azerbaijani officials have issued an order threatening to expel those
students who attend Day of Ashura events, said the Iranian website.
"Azerbaijani authorities began the preparatory works several months
ago. Police and security officials searched houses of many religious
figures looking for religious literature, and some of them were jailed
for cooperation with Iran."
