The activist"s father Zafar Ahmedov told Turan that his son"s health worsened after he was detained for a month in the Baku SIZO-1 during the consideration of his complaint in the Supreme Court.
"Fuad was kept for a month in the Kurdakhan pre-trial detention center, and after returning to the jail his health worsened, he could not breathe. Another problem is kidney pain," said the father. On October 5, the activist was hospitalized.
The father recalled that, before his arrest, the son underwent two lung operations, and his detention in a confined space is contraindicated.
He said that his son called today and said that he had an x-ray and blood for analysis was taken. Ahmedov noted that today he would meet with his son.
* Fuad Ahmadli was arrested in August 2016 on charges of "violating the law on operative-search activity" and disseminating personal information of users of Azerfon mobile phones. In addition, he was charged with abuse of authority.
He was sentenced to 4 years in prison on June 16, 2017. The Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court later upheld the verdict. Human rights activists have recognized Ahmedli as a political prisoner.
In May, the Surakhani District Court rejected Ahmedli"s appeal for release on parole in connection with the serving of more than half the sentence. The higher authorities upheld this decision. The activist has 10 months remaining until the end of the sentence. -03B06-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
