Saleh Rustamov may go on dry hunger strike from Monday

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.

"If he refuses to drink water, according to the doctors, his body will not last a day," the lawyer said with regret.
