Baku / 10.01.19 / Turan: A hunger strike continues in the headquarters of the Musavat party, demanding the release of blogger Mehman Huseynov and all other political prisoners. According to the action participant and Musavat Board member Tofig Yagublu, due to exhaustion of the body, Tofig Mammadov and Yashar Ferazi stopped the hunger strike.

Currently, in addition to Yagublu, another 5 people are holding a hunger strike: Elshad Israfilly, Fuad Rahimli, Mubariz Fatullayev and Rovshan Niftalyzadeh, as well as Natig Israfil who joined the hunger strike today.
