Baku / 18.02.23 / Turan: Public activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev has been on a hunger strike for 41 days, while for the third day he has also refused water.
On February 18, lawyers Shahla Gumbatova and Fakhraddin Mehdiyev were not allowed to visit Hajiyev at the Medical Institution of the Penitentiary Service.
“After checking the result of the coronavirus test and documents, they let me inside the institution. At the same time, they illegally searched my bag. However, then I was forced to wait for an hour and, as a result, they did not give me a meeting with Bakhtiyar Gadzhiev. They explained this by saying that “today is not a working day,” although last Saturday my colleagues were allowed to see Bakhtiyar,” Gumbatova told Turan.
At the same time, on Saturday, his mother, father and brother met with Gadzhiev.
“We saw Bakhtiyar in a very serious condition. My heart bled as I looked at him. He is completely exhausted, my son walks with great difficulty. The third day he does not drink water. His lips are completely dry. The dry tongue barely moved. Bakhtiyar spoke with difficulty. The voice was very weak, the speech was intermittent,” told the Turan agency after the meeting, the mother of the activist Solida Movlayeva.
According to her, relatives insistently asked Hajiyev to at least start drinking water.
However, the activist is ready to start drinking water if the guard is removed from his room.
“Bakhtiyar is kept in a small room of 6 square meters. m. It is impossible to breathe there, while a guard was also assigned to him. During the day, asking Bakhtiyar inappropriate questions makes him nervous. Bottles of water were defiantly removed from Bakhtiyar's room, and this warden even follows Bakhtiyar to the toilet to see if my son is drinking water from the tap. All this depresses my son. Bakhtiyar demands that the guard be removed from the room, in which case he will drink water. But he intends to continue the hunger strike until the end,” Movlayeva said.
* Bakhtiyar Hajiyev was detained on December 9 on charges of hooliganism and contempt of court. On the same day, the Khatai District Court arrested him for 1 month and 20 days.
On December 15, Hajiyev went on a hunger strike demanding his release. On December 28, he ended his hunger strike after persistent calls from the public and family members. However, on January 9, he resumed his hunger strike after the appeal court refused to release him and continues to this day.
On January 21, the court extended Hajiyev's arrest for another 1 month.
On the 39th day of the hunger strike, he also refused water.—03B06-
