Osman Narimanoglu (Rzayev)
Baku/04.08.23/Turan: Head of "Demokratik.az" website Osman Narimanoglu (Rzayev) held in Ganja pre-trial detention centre stopped hunger strike on 4 August, which he had been on for 12 days. The journalist's wife Arzu Rzayev informed Turan about it.
"After our persistent requests, Osman today, on the 12th day stopped his hunger strike.
He will continue to fight for termination of criminal prosecution in legal terms.
Unfortunately, for 12 days no one from the Ombudsman's office and the Prosecutor General's department took interest in his demands," Rzayeva said.
As a result of the hunger strike, Osmanoglu's health deteriorated, blood pressure dropped, stomach pains and dizziness increased, she said.
She noted that on 3 August at the next court session on Osmanoglu's case in Ganja court on grave crimes he could hardly hold on. Due to the leave of one of the judges, the trial was postponed until 7 September.
* Osman Narimanoglu, who has been imprisoned since 5 July 2022, said he fell victim to a smear campaign launched against him by officials of Goygol region.
He was charged under Article 182.2.2 (extortion by threats) of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan. The complaint against him was filed by Goygol hospital director Vasif Aliyev, former head of the district irrigation systems department Ilgar Magerramov and two other medics. -03В06-
