Baku/04.12.21/Turan: The former head of the Gedabey region уxecutive зower Saleh Rustamov has been on hunger strike for 29 days in jail.
Lawyer Bahruz Bayramov told Turan that Rustamov is in extremely serious health condition as a result of the prolonged hunger strike.
"Note that he already has faced problems with his nervous system and brain functioning. He speaks slowly, periodically his face seems to freeze up," the lawyer said.
He said Rustamov told him to have his lawyer come on Monday and then he would make his final decision about the dry hunger strike.
"If he refuses to drink water, according to the doctors, his body will not last a day," the lawyer said with regret.
