> Azerbaijan’s Prosecutor General’s Office announced absentia arrest warrants for Russian media figures Ivan Knyazev, Semyon Uralov and Aleksey Chadayev. It alleges they called for a forcible change to Azerbaijan’s constitutional order and publicly urged terrorism against the country in online broadcasts. Baku has sought international help because the suspects are outside Azerbaijan.
