Serving a prison sentence in Jail N 2, the leader of the civil movement Republican Alternative (REAL) Ilgar Mamedov has been transferred to the medical unit of the prison.
As stated in REAL, on November 12 the lawyer Fuad Agayev visited Mamedov, who that day had a fever. "However, in the last three days, there was no information about the state of Ilgar Mamedov.
Today we received a message that he was placed in a medical center," the statement said.
