Baku/08.05.19/Turan: On May 8, lawyer Elchin Sadigov was denied a meeting with journalist Afgan Mukhtarly in jail N 16.
According to a lawyer, he arrived in jail on May 8 at 4:40 pm and submitted documents for a meeting with his client.
"At first, a jail employee said that the chief would soon sign a pass. But after a while I was told that after 4.30 pm no one is allowed into the jail," Sadigov said.
According to him, earlier, before 5 pm, one can enter freely.
"Previously, after 5-10 minutes, we were allowed to the meeting. Now they are waiting for an hour and then they say that the meeting is not possible. In connection with the completion of the working day, it was not possible to receive comments in the Prison Service," the lawyer emphasized.
Investigative journalist Afgan Mukhtarly was abducted in Tbilisi in May 2017 and secretly transferred to Azerbaijan, where he was accused of smuggling, illegally crossing the border, using violence against a border guard and sentenced to 6 years in prison.
The arrest of Mukhtarly was condemned by the European Parliament and international human rights organizations. Amnesty International recognized him as a "prisoner of conscience." - 21B--
