Baku / 02.03.20 / Turan: On the fifth day of the hunger strike, the condition of the Musavat party activist, candidate for deputy Elman Guliyev, sharply worsened. This was reported to Turan by the head of the press service of the Musavat party Mustafa Hajibayli.

According to him, today Guliyev’s blood pressure dropped to 90 by 60.

Ambulance doctors urged him to take the medicine and offered him an injection of glucose. However, he refused.

The second participant of the action is also a candidate for deputy from the Musavat party Elshad Israfil, who is fasting for 4 days. He also looks bad and dizzy.

The protesters intend to continue the hunger strike, at least until March 5 - a meeting of the Constitutional Court, which will summarize the election. If the results are not canceled, then they will continue the action as long as they survive.

The hunger strike is held demanding the cancellation of the results of the parliamentary elections, which, according to the opposition, are totally falsified. —06D-

Elman Guliyev’s Health Worsened on Third Day of Hunger Strike

Baku / 29.02.20 / Turan: The blood pressure at the head of the youth organization of the Musavat party, Elman Guliyev, sharply dropped, and doctors advised him to stop the hunger strike, which he had been holding for the third day. This was reported to Turan by the head of the press service of the Musavat party Mustafa Hajibayli.

Guliyev was summoned to the Binagadi district prosecutor’s office on the morning of February 29 to clarify his complaint, Hajibeyli said.

"During a protest rally on February 16, Elman Guliyev was detained with force, was taken away by bus along with other protesters to Gobustan and released there. As a result of violence, Guliyev was injured in the back and still has pain. Despite the complaint he filed about the police actions on February 18, only now, after he began a hunger strike, he was summoned to the prosecutor’s office,” Hajibayli said.

According to Hajibayli, Guliyev testified at the prosecutor’s office and then he was sent for a medical examination. “All this, apparently, had a bad effect on his condition. When he returned to the party’s headquarters to continue the rally, he suddenly felt ill, his eyes darkened. We called an ambulance. As it turned out, his pressure dropped sharply - to the index of 90 to 60. Doctors gave him medicine and advised him to stop the action. But Elman decided to continue the action," Hajibeyli further noted.

According to him, the condition of another activist Israfil, who is on a hunger strike for the second day, is satisfactory.

The hunger strike is held demanding the cancellation of the results of the parliamentary elections, which, according to the opposition, were totally falsified. —06D-
