Anti-Israeli Rally Dispersed in Baku
Azeri Police has hampered a group of 100 Muslims to hold a rally against the Israeli Embassy in Baku. Action participants, who numbered 100, cried out anti-Israeli slogans, urging that country to cease hostilities against Lebanon. The picketers tried to approach the Embassy through several Police cordons, however they did not succeed. Some 20 participants were arrested by the Police. As it is known, since the beginning of the armed conflict between Israel and Lebanon demonstrations to support the latter were held in many Islamic countries, reports Interfax.
