Eldar Zeynalov, the head of the Azerbaijani Human Rights Center, was detained for questioning on 24 April after returning from a visit to Nagorno-Karabakh. The arrest followed a heated confrontation between Zeynalov and a group of 50-60 demonstrators picketing outside his Baku office to protest his trip. The demonstrators pelted the office with eggs and trash after Azerbaijani state television aired accusations that the activist is \"of Armenian origin\" and alleged that his acts are \"treasonous.
