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."
"It is not true. Taleh is a quiet person by nature. On the other hand, he is very sick and is not able to fight someone. How could they place a sick person to the punishment cell? 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.

The attempts to get comments in the Prison Service were futile.
