Bashir Suleymanli is forcibly tonsured in jail
The executive director of the Elections Monitoring and Democracy Studies Center (EMDS), Bashir Suleymanli, was forcibly tonsured in jail, a lawyer Elchin Sadigov wrote on his
Facebook page. The lawyer described it as lawlessness. "This is absolutely contrary to the Code of Corrections and internal regulations of the prison service. We will appeal to the Prison Service, and depending on the response, will file a lawsuit. Such treatment violates human dignity," wrote Sadigov.
In May last year Suleymanli was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison on charges of misappropriation, illegal business activities, abuse of office, tax evasion, official forgery. The true reason for his arrest is participation in the project, expose violations in the presidential election of 2013.
