GVO reports that several Ajeri bloggers were arrested, then later released.

Frontline Club blogger and Global Voices Online author Ali S. Novruzov has reportedly been detained in Baku as the Azerbaijani capital prepared for a planned youth demonstration. Tweets from a reliable source report that at least one other blogger was also detained along with the head of the National Democratic Institute in Azerbaijan, but that they were simply walking on the streets.

It was reported in the posts comments that all arrestees were subsequently released, thankfully. This is not the first time an Azeri blogger has gotten in trouble with the authorities.
