Azerbaijani police raid opposition leader's home

Azerbaijani police raid opposition leader's home

Police in Azerbaijan searched the home of Ali Karimli, the leader of a big opposition party, on Saturday.

This happened because of an investigation into a possible plan to remove the current president, Ilham Aliyev.

The government thinks Karimli might be getting money from Ramiz Mehdiyev, a friend of the former president.

Mehdiyev is currently under house arrest for trying to take over the government.

Karimli has been arrested many times before for organizing protests.

Azerbaijan is a country rich in oil and gas, and it has been criticized for not respecting human rights.
