Azerbaijan deports foreign nationals who filmed unethical videos at Martyrs’ Alley

Foreign nationals who recorded inappropriate videos at Martyrs’ Alley in Baku and posted them on social media have been deported from Azerbaijan, the State Migration Service of Azerbaijan reported.

Three citizens of Saudi Arabia were accused of committing indecent acts and filming inappropriate videos at Martyrs’ Alley on August 17 last year, News.Az reports, citing local media.

A criminal case was opened under Article 245 of the Criminal Code (insulting actions at a grave site), and all three individuals were arrested.

Subsequently, by a verdict of the Sabail District Court, they were sentenced to two years’ imprisonment.

Yesterday, the Baku Court of Appeal amended the verdict, reducing the sentence from two years to six months. Their term of imprisonment ended today.
