Baku / 06.08.18 / Turan: The authorities did not allow the condemned blogger Mehman Huseynov to say goodbye to his dying mother.
Severely ill Firangiz Huseynova died on the night of August 6, 2018. Before that, she spent three weeks in intensive care with a diagnosis of "acute heart failure." On July 15, she suffered a clinical death, but the doctors were able to bring her back to life. After two weeks of treatment in the intensive care unit, the doctors took the journalist's mother out of the artificial coma and disconnected her from the respirator.
Despite Mehmann Huseynov"s appeal to the authorities with the request to give him an opportunity to see his severely sick mother, he was refused.
Firangiz Huseynova passed away two days before her 71st birthday, without saying farewell to her son.
The Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety headed by Mehman Huseynov accused the country's leadership of callousness and bringing Firangiz Huseynova to death, and the medical staff of the hospital - of callousness and negligence.
Earlier, the authorities initiated the arrest of Mehman's brother, Executive Director of IRFS Emin Huseynov, who now lives in political emigration.
IRFS calls on the international community to impose sanctions against high-ranking officials and members of their families through the fault of which this tragedy occurred.
IRFS requires the Azerbaijani authorities to immediately stop the inhumane persecution of their critics and their family members and immediately and unconditionally release all prisoners of freedom of expression - journalists Mehman Huseynov, Afgan Mukhtarly, Seymur Hazi, Nijat Aliyev, Araz Guliyev, Fikret Ibishbeyli, Elchin Ismayilli, Ziya Assadli and Arshad Ibrahimov, bloggers Rashad Ramazanov and Ilkin Rustamzadeh, graffiti activists Giyas Ibrahimov and Bayram Mammadov as well as poet satirist Tofig Hasanov. -02D-

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."
