Activists of the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan held a protest in front of the Israeli embassy dedicated to the actions of solidarity with the Palestinians, “Remember Quds!” (Jerusalem). About 50 people took part in the protest, according to Haqqin.az.

According to the report, Quds Day is traditionally observed by the Islamists all over the world on the last Friday of the month of Ramadan to demand Jerusalem’s liberation of occupation. This is the initiative of the Iranian Islamic Revolution leader, Imam Khomeini.

Turan agency reports that reinforced police squads stopped the Islamists’ protest detaining over 20 believers, including deputy chairmen of the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan, Elchin Manafov, Akif Heydarli and Vuqar Ibayev.
“The journalists were also treated in an extremely undiplomatic way and driven away from the venue by the police,” Turan writes.
