Baku police have used water cannon and truncheons to disperse thousands of Azerbaijani opposition protesters who were demanding that the results of the 6 November parliamentary election be annulled

Registan.net follows efforts by opposition forces in Azerbaijan to protest recent elections. They were allowed 2 hours to protest, and then when it was suggested from the podium that they begin a sit-in protest in excess of the allowable 2 hours, they were forcibly removed and some were injured.
