"Since last September, Jahangir Hajiyev is not allowed to call home and meetings with family members. The response signed by Mirsaleh Seyidov, to my appeal to the prison service in April, said that there were no restrictions on meetings and telephone conversations of Jahangir Hajiyev. However, for eight months I am notallowed to talk and see my brother, "said Hajiyeva.
"When we last saw each other, he said that he did not know the reasons for such a harsh attitude towards him ... After all, this is a violation of human rights and laws. We cannot even pass food for him, because he is completely isolated. There is pressure on lawyers," said Hajiyeva, noting that she will continue to fight for his rights.
