The imprisoned editor in chief of the newspaper Tolyshi Sado Hilal Mamedov has been temporarily released to attend the wedding of his daughter, which will be held on October 24.
Turan was told by Hilal's brother, Sabahaddin Mamedov. According to him, Hilal was released the evening of 23 October and he will be at large until late in the evening of October 24. But his stay at large might be extended for another two days.
The release of H. Mamedov to take part in the wedding of his daughter was petitioned by Azerbaijani human rights activists at the meeting of the working group with the participation of representatives of the authorities and civil society on 22 October.
As the head of the Bureau of Human Rights and Rule of Law, Saida Gojamanli said, it was agreed to release Mamedov for three days.
* Hilal Mamedov was arrested on June 21, 2012. The Baku Court of Grave Crimes on September 27, 2013 sentenced him to 5 years in prison, finding him guilty of treason, inciting ethnic hatred and drug trafficking. Mamedov denied the allegations and believes that he is being persecuted for political reasons. Amnesty International found him "a prisoner of conscience." -06D--
