The Azerbaijani State Security Service has released recordings of new figures it claims have conspired with Mehdiyev, alleging foreign interference.

Orkhan Bakhishli had been arrested three times before on various charges.

The resolution ‘strongly’ condemns the arrest of Ali Karimli, chair of the opposition Popular Front Party, and calls for his immediate release.

Murad Sultanli was reportedly arrested and sentenced to 30 days of administrative detention.

Novruz Taghiyev has been in detention since May 2025.

Raids were also conducted at the homes of his brother-in-law Elnur Seyidov and party member and journalist Tazakhan Miralamli.
