Arrests at soldier death protest

BAKU: Police in Azerbaijan arrested dozens of protesters at a rally against violence in the armed forcers yesterday, firing water cannon to disperse crowds.

The protest was one of a series triggered by the death of a conscript at a barracks. It was one of a string of suspicious non-combat deaths in the military in recent years.
