This was his third dry hunger strike in the last 2 months, the lawyer recalled.
Hasanov protested against the illegal arrest, unjustified prolongation of his trial, and beating him in the courthouse by guards. He stopped his hunger strike at the request of the leadership of the PFPA, a group of family members of martyrs, the lawyer stressed.
