Baku / 06/22/18 / Turan: Fuzuli Huseynov, arrested member of the Popular Front Party, has been on hunger strike since the moment of his detention.
It should be reminded that Huseynov was detained on June 14 in the center of Baku after a single action he held in connection with the birthday of the convicted leader of the Republican Alternative Party Ilgar Mammadov. The court arrested him for 10 days under Article 535.1 (disobeying the lawful police requirements) of the Administrative Offenses Code.
The lawyer Javad Javadov met with Huseynov on June 21 at the Binagadi detention center for people arrested under administrative law.
"Fizuli Huseynov informed me that immediately after the arrest he went on a hunger strike as a sign of protest. He got sick badly on the fifth day of the hunger strike, but he continues it. The activist looked very listless and pale. I insistently asked Huseynov to stop the action," Javadov told Turan.
Huseynov was earlier subjected to administrative arrests: in October of last year, due to the deterioration of the state due to a prolonged hunger strike, the police tried to take him to a psychiatric hospital. However, the doctors recognized the activist as healthy. He stopped the action only after the appeal of the opposition leaders. -06D-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
