At the initiative of civil society, human rights defenders and Ahmed Abbasbeyli and Saadat Bananyarli together with doctors today visited the Baku prison the arrested human rights activist Leyla Yunus. According to Bananyarli Saadat, there were nine doctors in the group: therapist, ophthalmologist, virology, endocrinology, and others. They took with them a different medical equipment for examination. All the doctors were women. The group was formed by the Ministry of Health, and among them there were not employees of the medical service of Ministry of Justice. However, Yunus categorically refused to be examined by these, so doctors made the relevant act, said Bananyarli.
Abbasbeyli asked Yunus of torture against her in response, she said that she was beaten, but refused to give details, continued Bananyarli. The inmates of Yunus, three women, said they had not witnessed physical pressure on Yunus.
According to Bananyarli, Yunus refuses the inspection of prison doctors. In the book of registrations her last visit to her doctor was dated November 21. Before she regularly measured the pressure, blood sugar levels. With regard to the conditions, then Yunus contained in a heated chamber - the female body is heated jail, and Yunus has passed her relatives electric stove. According to Bananyarli, Yunus was given medication.
Being asked how Leyla Yunus looked, Bananyarli said she was sitting on his bed, and turned away when a visitor. Therefore, a human rights activist found it difficult to evaluate its appearance.
Bananyarli and Abbasbeyli could visit her in jail because they are members of the Public Committee to monitor places of detention.
Earlier, lawyers of Yunus said that human rights defender refuses services of doctors of the Ministry of Justice because of mistrust. Protecting insists on an independent medical examination.
