Pressure on Ulvi Hasanli in prison
Baku/11.12.23/Turan: Director of the online publication "Abzas Media" Ulvi Hasanli, who is being held in Baku's pre-trial detention centre-1, is being threatened.
In particular, he has been charged in connection with a complaint to the Ombudsman.
This was reported to Turan by his family.
Hasanli has banned from meeting and talking to his relatives, and then from communicating by phone with his lawyers. All this happened after his complaint to the Ombudsman.
The management of the remand centre warned him that if he continued to complain, his "situation would get worse".
When asked to comment on this report, the prison authorities said that they would look into the matter and provide information.
*Ulvi Hasanli was arrested on 20 November. The next day, the court sentenced him to 4 months' imprisonment on the smuggling charge. Hasanli denied the charges and linked them to a corruption investigation carried out by "Abzas Media". -06B-

It has been 35 years since the harrowing night of January 19-20, 1990, when a 35,000-strong army corps, following orders from the Soviet leadership, forcefully entered Baku. This invasive act resulted in numerous civilian casualties, marking a tragic chapter in the struggle for Azerbaijani independence. The Soviet army's incursion into Baku was orchestrated to quell the burgeoning national liberation movement, particularly to thwart the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for March 1990.
