Huseyn's mother Rahima Huseynova confirmed to Turan that three employees of the Ombudsman's office visited her son on May 18. "Abbas spent ten days on hunger strike in jail No. 1. However, yesterday, after being transferred to pre-trial detention center-1, he resumed eating.
Representatives of the Ombudswoman told him that there would be another meeting with him. Abbas needs serious treatment, he has serious injuries on his head and ribs, his legs are swollen," the activist's mother said.
