Minors are becoming victims of radical religious propaganda amid clashes over the introduction of school uniform rules in Baku.

Axar.az reports, citing Oxu.az, footage filmed at one of Baku’s schools shows students breaking the school’s windows.

The footage shows that children who are too young to make independent decisions about religion are among those breaking the windows. This suggests that radical religious propaganda is targeting minors and attempting to use them to pursue its own agenda. Such propaganda appears to be encouraging children to behave in ways that are inappropriate for their age and, as the footage shows, to display uncontrolled aggression.

Adults can also be seen among those breaking the school windows. Rather than calming the children down, they encourage them further, revealing the true nature of the incident. Those smashing the windows and damaging the school are not acting out of concern for education. The children, meanwhile, are not merely participants in these events but direct victims of them.
