Baku / 09.09.19 / Turan: Ikram Rahimov, editor of the realliq.info website, conducting a hunger strike in the Baku pretrial detention center-1, sent a letter to the media.
"On August 7, I started a hunger strike in protest against my illegal arrest, a registered sentence and a biased investigation of my complaint. The main reason for my 28-day hunger strike is clear to everyone. Everyone should be made to think and worry about the ongoing attacks in Azerbaijan and pressure on freedom of speech, independent media, illegal bans, blockages and ordered arrests of journalists.
If today Presidential Assistant for Political Affairs Ali Hasanov and the Press Council he takes care of can order and realize my arrest, then anyone who represents free media can suffer the same fate. In an environment where injustice and arbitrariness reign and laws do not work, it is difficult to fight for restoration and achievement of justice," Rahimov writes.
At the same time, the unity of representatives of freedom of speech and their consolidation can create the basis for the implementation of their just requirements. Rahimov claims that he does not intend to terminate the action, even if it costs him his life.
In turn, the public relations department of the Prison Service told Turan that there was nothing threatening Rahimov"s life. The department confirmed that Rahimov continues the hunger strike, but he is under full medical supervision, provided with meetings and phone calls. -06D--
