“I was shockd with what I saw yesterday at the trial of Leyla and Arif Yunus. The health of Leyla and Arif is terrifying. The talk is about the destruction of human dignity," said Jamil Hasanli, the head of the National Council, commenting on the health of the spouses Yunus. "Women in prison mentioned at the trial dates on which she was subjected to beatings by guards, the loss of vision in one eye, on the other torments. It is not just a violation of the Constitution, the conventions, and the loss of humanity. At the trial, we learned that Arif a tumor appeared on Arif Yunus’s head, that indicates a serious health problem," said Hasanli. Leyla Yunus before her arrest underwent six operations.
Azerbaijan revived terrible tradition of the 37th, when the police turned into a machine of destruction, indicative of extermination of enemies and critics of the government.
In the 21st century, it is unthinkable that the Member State of the Council of Europe judges people on false charges," said Hasanli. In turn, the head of the Society for Women's Rights Novella Jafaroglu, commenting on the trial in the case of Yunus noted the indignant attitude towards Leyla Yunus. "While Leyla is not our friend, but we have worked together for many years. We regret that Arif and Leyla are in such condition. I wish a speedy release of Leyla and Arif from prison. It is not rightto keep sick peopleunder such conditions in prison," said Jafaroglu. Beings asked to comment on the facts of torture against Yunus, Jafaroglu said she could not comment on this ithout evidence. According to her, representatives of ombudswoman and the Working Group on Human Rights visited Yunus ion prison. "Perhaps there were incidents between prisoners. But I do not believe that the Prison Service would show aggression toward Leyla. Many people were kept n prisons, and our people met with them, no one complained of the pressure. I do not believe on the use of torture by the staff," said Jafaroglu. -03B—
