Let's not forget Nardaran's prominent Shiite scholars in Azerbaijan prisons

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Azerbaijan began a fresh wave of attacks on the majority Shias on November 26, 2015 when security forces killed four members of the Movement for Muslim Unity (MMU) during a raid in the village of Nardaran. At least 14 people were nabbed in the raid, including the MMU leader Tale’ Bagirzade, who is also known as Sheikh Bagirov.

The MMU enjoys widespread public support as attested by the participation of thousands in a protest called by the movement near Baku against the detention of another leader Elchin Gasymov earlier this month. Police briefly arrested some members of the group.  

In a later attack in Nardaran on December 3, 2015, policemen shot and killed five Shia Muslims and arrested 32 others.

Azerbaijan is a majority Shia state of more than nine million people, with Shias accounting for 85 percent of the population. The secular government of Aliyev suppressed a Shia-dominated popular uprising in 2010 amid international outcry over his heavy-handed crackdown.​
