Hunger strike in support of T. Yagublu becomes widespread
Baku/09.01.23/Turan: On January 9, 7 more activists joined the hunger strike of opposition politician Tofig Yagublu, which he is conducting at the Detention Center for Administratively Arrested Persons.
They are on a hunger strike at the headquarters of the Musavat party.
Among the participants of the action were activists of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA) Babek Hasanov, Alizamin Salayev, Jeyhun Novruzov, Alizamin Kazimov, Sakit Mammadli, Tofig Mammadov and a member of the Musavat party Aziz Mamiyev.
“There are many people who want to participate in the hunger strike. It's just that the places are limited, so we decided to alternately hold a hunger strike. First of all, we demand the release of Tofig Yagublu. Of course, we also demand freedom for Bakhtiyar Hajiyev and other political prisoners,” Babek Hasanov told Turan.
Earlier, T. Yagublu's wife Maya Yagublu (January 7) and two PFPA activists Seymur Akhmedsoy and Elnur Guliyev (January 8) joined the hunger strike. They are on hunger strike at Yagublu's house.
* Tofig Yagublu, a member of the National Council of Democratic Forces and the Musavat Party, was detained on December 23 at a protest rally in the center of Baku demanding the release of public activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev.
On the same day, the Sabail court arrested him for 30 days on charges of petty hooliganism and insubordination to the police. On January 5, the Baku Court of Appeal upheld this decision. In protest, Yagublu went on a hunger strike.
* * Bakhtiyar Hajiyev was detained on December 9 on charges of hooliganism and contempt of court. On the same day, the Khatai District Court arrested him for 1 month and 20 days.
On December 15, Hajiyev went on a hunger strike demanding his release from custody. On the evening of December 28, he ended his hunger strike after persistent calls from members of the public and family members. However, on January 9, Gadzhiev resumed his hunger strike, after the appeal court once again rejected his complaint about arrest.-03Гѓ‚06-
