Turan was told by lawyer Bahruz Bayramov. According to him, the ICRC representatives were interested in the state of health, nutrition and conditions of Bayramov.
"Rufat Safarov said that at present the conditions of detention, food and attitude towards him are normal," said the lawyer. Safarov thanked the ICRC staff for promoting universal right and humanitarian principles. He also noted that in connection with the facts of torture against him in the past, his statement was taken to the European Court of Human Rights.
