Health of NIDA activists worsened

Today is the 14th day of the NIDA activists who are on hunger strike. Doctors do not help the strikers, only sometimes they measure their blood pressure, Turan was told by the parents of  imprisoned activists. According  to Turkan Huseynova, a spouse of  Rashadat Akhundov,  hunger seriously undermines the health of activists.

"Rashadat has  bad stomach  ache, Zaur Gurbanly’s skin  comes off the heels , Uzeyir Mammedli can not move. Nevertheless, activists will attend the trial on May 1, and will say their last word. Prison Service has issued a statement which denies a hunger strike of NIDA  members.   "These eight arrested normally eat in their cells. They do not have any health problems," says the Penitentiary Service.

* Members of the NIDA  Movement were arrested  in the period  of  March-May 2013 for participating in a protest against the soldiers' deaths on  March 10, 2014. They are  charged with possession of drugs and explosives, and also of hooliganism. Youth activists do not accept the charges, considering them a political order.

Organization "Amnesty International" considers them prisoners  of conscience.-16D04-
