Baku/24.02.23/Turan: Lawyer Zibeyda Sadygova visited the arrested activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev at the Medical Institution of the Penitentiary Service on Friday.
Bakhtiar has been on a hunger strike for the 47th day and refuses to stop it, Sadygova told Turan. He complains of heart pain and numb hands, lost up to 64 kg. The blood sugar level is 5.1%, and the blood pressure is 95/65, the lawyer said.
"To my urgent requests to stop the hunger strike, Bakhtiar said that he would go to the end," Sadygova noted.
* 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 – till 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. -----02B----
