At least five people who spoke out against the war have been arrested so far.
The short war which Azerbaijan waged against Armenian-populated Karabakh after a months-long blocade is over (Armenian separatists lost, and will likely get ethnically cleansed out of the region)...
...but in the aftermath, it's worth pointing out that several high-profile Azeris did speak against their government starting a war - and were repressed.
The most worrisome case is the chairman of the confederation of trade unions, Afiaddin Mammadov. A provocateur who had previously injured himself threw a knife at him, and cops arrested him immediately after that, claiming he had injured the provocateur.
