Baku / 11.09.18 / Turan: Murad Adilov, an activist of the Popular Front party in jail N 10 has been placed to the punishment cell because he started a hunger strike, said his brother Natig Adilov, who is in political emigration in Europe. Murad started a hunger strike on September 7 in protest against the court's refusal to release him on parole.
In the evening of September 10, he sent a message to his family about the deterioration of health, the call of a lawyer and representatives of the Red Cross. However, the representative of the Penitentiary Service denied the report of the hunger strike.
"Our employees talked with him and persuaded him to stop the hunger strike," Mehman Sadygov, representative of the Penitentiary Service, told Azadliq radio.
At the same time, he avoided answering the question about the conclusion of Murad Adilov in the punishment cell. "Information on the movements of convicts is not disclosed," he said.
Adilov was arrested in August 2014 in Sabirabad on charges of illegal drug trafficking. On May 14, 2015, he was sentenced to six years in prison.
He is the brother of the press secretary of the PFPA, the observer of the newspaper Azadlyg and the presenter of the satellite television program "Azerbaijan Hour" Natig Adilov, who lives abroad now.
According to human rights defenders, M. Adilov is being persecuted because of his brother's journalistic activities, sharply criticizing the authorities of Azerbaijan. Amnesty International recognized M. Adilov as a "prisoner of conscience". -16D06-
