October Faction was one of the many off-shoots of seminal punk band Black Flag, led by guitarist Greg Ginn. A supergroup of SST alumni that mixed jazz and hard rock mainly as an instrumental vehicle. Never an actual working band as much as an occasional jam band, they made two albums both released on the SST label in 1985 and 1986. The unofficial lineup included contributions from Bill Stevenson, Henry Rollins, Joe Baiza, Chuck Dukowski, Tom Trocolli, Greg Cameron, and the ever-present ringleader, Greg Ginn.

Meanwhile, Baku district deputy police chief Ilgar Ragimzade was fired and arrested on 22 October, reportedly for having passed to the opposition plans for the massive deployment of police in Baku on 17 October, the date of former Parliament Speaker Rasul Guliev's anticipated return from exile to Azerbaijan, according to zerkalo.az on 25 October.
Also on 25 October, the "Financial Times" quoted U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Fried, who visited Baku during a tour of the South Caucasus last week, as rejecting complaints by some Azerbaijani oppositionists that Washington is not pressuring the Azerbaijani authorities to ensure that the 6 November ballot is free, fair, and democratic.
Faction head David Zurabishvili told RFE/RL that the faction aims to promote and defend the ideals espoused by opposition politicians who were in the forefront of the November 2003 Rose Revolution that culminated in the peaceful ouster of President Eduard Shevardnadze.
