Əlizamin Salayev
Baku/08.04.21/Turan: A member of the Popular Front Party, Alizarin Salayev, who is serving a sentence in jail N 17, needs hospitalization, stated his son Ogtay Salayev. According to him, his father has serious health problems. The stuffiness in the jail aggravated his heart disease and he has heart attacks 3-4 times every day, the activist's son says. Salayev is not transferred to the Medical Institution of the Penitentiary Service.
The son believes that they deliberately provoked him to protest in order to be put in a punishment cell on the eve of the consideration of his complaint on parole on August 6. On August 3, lawyer Elchin Sadigov was not allowed to see Salayev.
The public relations department of the Penitentiary Service denied the allegations of not providing Salayev with medical assistance, pointing out that he had no health problems.
As for the access of a lawyer to a prisoner, the department noted that lawyers have no problems meeting with prisoners.
“There are just certain procedural rules that must be followed,” a Penitentiary Service representative said vaguely.
* Alizarin Salayev was convicted on April 20, 2020 by the Salyan District Court and sentenced to 2 years 3 months in prison on charges of "libel" and "insult" based on a complaint from a local police officer.
The reason for the lawsuit was a video broadcast by Salayev on the Internet, in which he, in a conversation with a police officer, accused him of inducing a 21-year-old local woman to cohabit. Salayev was recognized as a political prisoner by human rights activists. —03B06-

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."
