Vafa Mammadova, the wife of the convicted leader of the REAL Ilgar Mammadov, expressed serious concern over the fate of her husband. In a statement dated 7 October, she wrote that for 10 daysshe cannot get information about his whereabouts.
"The Prison Service, violatiiong the law, conceals from the family the place where Ilgar is kept," she writes. Ten days ago, the family was told that Ilgara would be transferred to the Detention Unit Number 3 ( in Shuvalan);since then theere is not any information about him. The detention center refused to accept the transfer for Ilgar, or give any information about him, said Ilgar’s wife.
"In his last telephone conversation from the prison in Sheki, Ilgar said that he was subject to pressure, so that he write a petition for pardon," writes the wife . Such a long absence causes reasonable concern that Ilgar Mamedov is tortured to so that to make him beg for mercy; Vafa Mamedova asks Ombudswoman and the Red Cross to help clarify the fate of her husband.
The attempts to get a comment on this appeal in the prison service, were futile.

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
