He showed photos about this. In the same broadcast blogger Mehman Huseynov who had shared a series of videos about the president&#8217;s daughter in law Alyona Aliyeva said he was being followed by a car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mehman Huseynov: &#8220;I am facing explicit death threats<\/strong>&#8220;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to Meydan TV blogger Mehman Huseynov said he received death threats through social networks and various platforms after his posts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"826\" height=\"594\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/3ba2253f-368e-4eff-b178-024ae43c2c13.jpeg\" alt=\"Mehman\" class=\"wp-image-121849 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 826px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 826\/594;aspect-ratio:1.3905863820310167;width:360px;height:auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Mehman Huseynov<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIn Baku, they took my family members \u2014 my father and my brother \u2014 to the State Security Service and showed them my intimate videos.

In addition, last December, Deputy Razi Nurullayev spoke in parliament and said that Mehman Huseynov should be punished for posting about police officers. There are many such statements,\u201d<\/em> said Huseynov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the situation worsened after the videos he published about Alyona Aliyeva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIlham Aliyev had already made a direct decision that Mehman should be detained and punished, no matter which European country he was in, because of these matters.

In addition, Bayram Mammadov lost his life under mysterious circumstances in Turkey, and Vugar Rza in Belgium. Huseyn Bakikhanov was openly killed in Tbilisi, Georgia. Considering all of this, the lives of Azerbaijani political exiles, bloggers, and journalists are in real danger,\u201d <\/em>Mukhtarli says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him there are many people among Azerbaijanis living in exile who are being followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cBased on the information I have, those being targeted include Ganimat Zahid, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper \u2018Azadl\u0131q,\u2019 blogger Gabil Mammadov, journalist Emin Huseynov and his brother Mehman Huseynov, as well as religious figures Alemdar Bunyadov and Orkhan Agayev,\u201d<\/em> Muxtarl\u0131 adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cDo not walk alone, check your phones\u201d \u2013 a security warning<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Afgan Mukhtarli says people who receive threats must inform the law enforcement and special services of the country where they live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSuch people should not walk alone.

They should have their phones checked for spyware and turn off location services. There are now programs that can track a person\u2019s movements using just a phone number. If necessary, they should use protective vests, which can help guard against bullets and knife attacks. Personal security must be taken very seriously,\u201d Mukhtarli stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mehman Huseynov said that the German criminal police have already taken his home and the surrounding area under surveillance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have been assigned security and do not leave my home. Ganimat Zahid, who lives in France, is also under serious threat. As you know, in France, Mahammad Mirzali was subjected to armed and knife attacks, and Vidadi Iskandarli was murdered.
