Two pupils injured after stones thrown at Baku school windows

Two pupils injured after stones thrown at Baku school windows

Two pupils were injured at School No. 136 in Baku's Bina settlement. Report news agency said preliminary information indicated that unidentified people threw stones at the building's windows and suspects were detained.

An ambulance team was sent to the scene. The account carried by RIA Novosti on October 13 does not specify injury severity or how many suspects were detained in this particular incident.

The incident comes amid tensions over new school uniform requirements. Azerbaijan's Interior Ministry previously reported 37 arrests for serious public-order violations. That separate figure should not be treated as the number detained over the attack on School No. 136.

The government changed state-school dress requirements in September, restricting clothing inconsistent with the uniform standard or secular education. The report does not establish a connection between the particular suspects and the protests.
