Elchin Sadigov
Lawyer denied meeting with detained bloggers in prison
On January 31, lawyer Elchin Sadigov was not allowed to meet with Polad Aslanov, the head of the website xeberman.com, and blogger Rashad Ramazanov in jail No. 15.
"I was made to wait, being told that they needed to report to the authorities. Then they said that there is only one lawyer's room in the prison, and it is currently occupied," Sadigov wrote on Facebook. After waiting for two hours, Sadigov left the prison.
It should be noted that earlier, Aslanov and Ramazanov had reported violations of their rights in prison, citing harsh conditions and mistreatment of detainees.
