The detainee's sister Tajira Mammadzadeh told Turan that she witnessed her brother being grabbed by masked individuals.
"On 18 March, we were travelling in a KAMAZ vehicle in which Sahid was taking sheep to a mountain pasture. The car was stopped at a police post, Sahid was dragged out of the car and put into another vehicle, beating him. I tried to film the incident, but I was beaten and my phone taken away," she said.
The PPFA believes that Sahid Mammadzadeh is being persecuted for political reasonsş
