"Most young people in social networks are seriously concerned about
the Azerbaijani government. The power ministries and MPs of ruling
party, are alarmed about the dangers of "Facebook" not by chance,"
Azerbaijani newspaper "Bizim Yol" writes.
As the portal "Haqqin.az" reports, in regional and municipal police
stations of Azerbaijan, "Facebook states" are created. The young
police helpers, who have specialized in information technologies,
receive monthly salary of 250-300 Euros. They have separate rooms and
high-speed internet in police departments. They are tasked to control
the activists of the oppositional parties and free-thinking youth.
Every day the chiefs of the police are reported about the written
results on tracking the political activists in Facebook.
It was also found out that young people that are attracted to this
work, received informal salary, i.e. chiefs of the police give it in
"envelopes."
In the beginning of March, MP Fazail Agamali, the leader of the
pro-governmental party of Azerbaijan "Fatherland", spoke for imposing
restrictions on social networks, including "Facebook." He told that
social networks are a threat to the Azerbaijani statehood. In early
April Hadi Radjabli, the Chairman of the Permanent Commission for
Social Policy of the Milli Majlis (Azerbaijan's Parliament) spoke in
favor of limiting the social network "Facebook" in Azerbaijan.
On March 10, in Baku, a mass protest against the deaths of soldiers in
the army in non-combat situation was held. The rally was dispersed by
the police; at least 60 people were detained. There were about 3000
protesters at Fountain Square. The number of participants increased
due to the relatives of the recruits killed in the Azerbaijani army.
Earlier, a similar protest was held on January 12 in 2013 and was
also dispersed by the police. Both protests were organized in social
networks.
