Photos of detained bloggers at police station

Sometimes things can get pretty silly and absurd. All the last hearings of Emin Milli and Adnan Hajizade's trial was about proving that the detained bloggers themselves arrived at the police station to file a complaint. They are not 'hooligans' who have beaten two sportsmen, but real victims. In a normal court, the process would be around proving their innocence. In a normal country, they wouldn't end up in a jail. But, as one brilliant but little-known Twitter hashtag says - #CaucasusKangarooCourts.

State Prosecutor in #EminAdnan case claims that police rounded up both bloggers in 'Lebanese' restaurant after they have quarreled and beaten two innocent guys who had just politely asked them to be quite and not to swear. But, there are photos, after all! Taken by friends of #EminAdnan while they were painstakingly waiting for police to receive their complaints. I've taken those photos from a press-release of the [Azeri] Committee to Protect Youth [that is #EminAdnan] and posted them here.
