Bəxtiyar Hacıyev
Baku/28.02.23/Turan: Activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev, who had been on hunger strike for 51 days, decided to stop the action on February 28, his lawyer Agyl Laidj told Turan.
"Bakhtiar took into account numerous appeals from family members, friends and the public and from now on will continue his struggle in the legal field," the lawyer said.
* Bakhtiar Hajiyev was arrested on December 9 last year 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. He stopped his hunger strike on December 28 after persistent calls from members of the public and family members. But on January 9, after the Court of Appeal refused to release him from custody, he resumed his hunger strike, which continues to this day.
On January 21, the court extended Hajiyev's term of imprisonment for another month, and on February 23, the Khatai court extended the term of arrest for another 2 months – on April 28.
The courts did not satisfy numerous petitions of lawyers to change Hajiyev's extreme measure of restraint to house arrest or release on bail before the start of the judicial investigation. ---03B---
