Serving a prison sentence in Jail No 13, the human rights defender Anar Mammadli has health problems.
The jail is in a location unfavorable from an environmental point of view - it is surrounded by polluted water bodies – sources of infection. This has caused allergies in Anar Mammadli and now he is receiving treatment, the activist’s family said.
In addition, Mammadli appealed to the leadership of the jail with a request to change his cell, as in the current one the conditions are bad.
Mammadli also said that only state newspapers are delivered to the prison library, while opposition and independent media cannot be found there.
The head of the Election Monitoring Center Anar Mammadli was arrested on 17 December 2013. The Baku Court of Grave Crimes sentenced him to 5 years and a half in prison for illegal business, malpractice and tax evasion.
Amnesty International announced Anar Mammadli prisoner of conscience. He was awarded the Prize of Vaclav Havel. -16D-

Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property.
