Leyla Yunus fears of new attacks in prison

Leyla Yunus kept in the Baku prison N1 fears of  violation of her  rights and ill-treatment, as well as new acts of violence against her. These concerns are related to the authorities' intention to examine her health. She recalled that on August 19 she was transferred to the sanitary part of the prison, but after six days she was returned to the detention center, saying that the blood test showed that she did not have serious health problems.

Leyla Yunus was told that  she could take medicines  in her ward. The staff of the Sanitary referred to the results of tests that supposedly held the German doctor Witt.

However, the daughter of Yunus contacted Dr. Witt in Berlin, who dismissed it, stating that  he did not present any  data on blood tests of  Yunus to the Azerbaijani side. As for the results of his analysis, they just  indicate the presence of cirrhosis and hepatitis C.

On September 30 at about 9 am at the Yunus was made to make  a blood test. She replied: "I have made blood tests, and your told that I am healthy. Therefore, I refuse to be tested, because I do not trust your doctors.
