Late afternoon:
- Emin along with 5 other friends are having casual discussion at a local pub called "Lebenese" where they eat on regular basis. Adnan joins the group AND minutes later, two well built men approach Emin, ask "What did you say?" and immediately proceed to beating him. Attempting to protest Adnan is hit by one of the attackers.
-As true social activists with deep convictions of non-violent resistance the whole group refuses to engage the attackers. Pub administration interferes and the remaining group members help Adnan and Emin to leave the place and accompany them to the nearby Police station #39.
A few hours later: 39th Police station chief claims the pub is outside their administrative area and refers the group to another nearby police station #9. By the time victims arrive at 9th police station, the two attackers were already there. In the next two hours Emin is taken to hospital to be treated for head injuries. Upon arrival Adnan & Emin along with Orkhan Qafarli (one of the group members present at the beating) are questioned by the police investigators. Meanwhile, Ziya Aliyev, the investogator lets the two attackers leave while police officers interfere with journalist trying to take pictures of the attackers.
