Activist who died under unexplained circumstances in Istanbul, buried in Baku
Baku/09.05.21/Turan: On May 9, Bayram Mammadov, a youth activist, was buried in Baku, whose body was found in the coastal part of Istanbul on May 2.
Turkish police said his body was found on May 4. He allegedly dived into the sea and did not swim back.
Bayram Mammadov's body was handed over to his family after being examined by Turkish investigating authorities.
Mammadov's relatives said the Turkish police had registered Bayram Mammadov's death as "suspicious" and that an investigation was underway.
Mammadov is one of the most famous political prisoners in Azerbaijan. On May 9, 2016, Bayram Mammadov and Giyas Ibragimov painted a monument to ex-President Heydar Aliyev with political slogans.
"Happy slave holiday!" and “Fuck the system” - for these two slogans young people were sentenced to 10 years in prison in October of the same year.
On March 16, 2019, they were pardoned by presidential decree. -0-
