Founder of Azel TV website continues hunger strike, court failed again
Baku/21.01.21/Turan: The editor of the Azel TV website, Afgan Sadigov, convicted on charges of taking bribes, has been on hunger strike for 78 days. On January 21, the Court of Appeal again postponed the consideration of his complaint about the unjustified arrest, said his wife Sevinj Sadigova. According to her, her husband's condition remains difficult and he may die at any time.
* The head of Azel.TV, Afghan Sadigov, was arrested on charges of extortion through threats in May this year. On November 3, the court sentenced him to seven years in prison. Since November 4, he went on a hunger strike in protest, considering the sentence unfair.
Local human rights activists recognize him as a political prisoner. —03B-
