Mother of the human rights activist told that after that appeal to media Taleh Hasmamedov was transferred to a punishment cell for 15 days on the pretext that he "got into a fight with a fellow inmate."

Those who ordered his arrest are doing everything to ensure his stay in prison. A week ago, when Taleh spoke to me on the phone he said that they make pressure on him," said Hasmamedova.
