According to Bananyarli Saadat, there were nine doctors in the group: therapist, ophthalmologist, virology, endocrinology, and others.

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.

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.
