TEHRAN (FNA - Iranian news agency)- Security forces arrested 20 key Islamist
figures in Baku in a new wave of intensifying repression of the opposition,
specially Islamists, in the Caucasian state.

According to FNA dispatches, in the latest wave of arrests, Azeri security
forces arrested 20 prominent Islamist activists and scholars in Nardaran
neighborhood in the capital, Baku.

The move by the Azeri government is aimed at exerting pressure and
intimidating opposition figures.

The Azeri government has also raised fabricated allegations to arrest
Islamist figures and decrease Islamic activities by the overwhelmingly
Muslim nation.

The Baku government claims that a majority of those arrested have been
involved in drug-related activities and keeping narcotics in their homes.
