Abbas Hüseyn
Baku/19.05.23/Turan: On May 18, the representatives of the Ombudsman's office visited Abbas Huseyn, an activist of the Muslim Unity Movement in the Baku pre-trial detention center-1. A few days ago, Huseyn's audio message was distributed on social networks, where he complained about torture in custody. "During the visit, a confidential conversation was held with Abbas Huseyn, his appeals were considered. Based on the appeals of Abbas Huseyn, measures are being taken," Emil Shahzade, head of the press service of the Ombudsman's office, told Turan.
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.
A lawyer Fahraddin Mehdiyev said that Huseyn's transfer to the pre-trial detention center is connected with the upcoming meeting in the Baku Court of Appeal on May 24 in connection with a complaint about the tightening of Huseyn's detention regime and his transfer to the Gobustan prison.
