Bayram Mammadov Stops Hunger Strike in Jail

Baku / 28.06.17 / Turan: The activist of the NIDA movement Bayram Mammadov stopped the hunger strike, which he started on June 23 in Prison No. 13, where he is serving a sentence. Turan Mammadov, the activist's father, told Turan IA about this.

According to him, B. Mammadov called home on June 27 and said he had stopped the hunger strike, which he conducted as a sign of protest against the conditions of his imprisonment.

Recall that B. Mammadov protested against placing him in a cell next to the toilet. He said the administration sold empty room to prisoners for money.

After the activist resorted to an extreme measure, the administration asked him to stop the hunger strike, assuring that in the coming days they would give him another place in the barracks, the activist's father said.

* Bayram Mammadov and Giyas Ibrahimov were arrested on May 10 after they wrote political slogans on the monument to Heydar Aliyev. They were charged with illegal drug trafficking on a large scale and sentenced each to 10 years in prison. -03B06-
