Saleh Rustamov starts dying of brain cells - lawyer
Baku/09.12.21/Turan: Saleh Rustamov, recognized by human rights activists as a political prisoner, has been on a hunger strike for 34 days in the Medical Institution of the Azerbaijan Penitentiary Service, said a lawyer Bahruz Bayramov, who visited the prison hospital today.
He described Rustamov's health as extremely serious. “Saleh Rustamov’s health is getting worse every day. He practically can no longer speak,” Bayramov said.
According to the lawyer, before his meeting with Rustamov, a group of doctors from the Main Medical Directorate of the Ministry of Justice, including Turkish psychologists who are in Azerbaijan to assist war veterans, came to the latter. The doctors told him that Rustamov's brain cells were already dying and it would be impossible to restore them, and then the action should be stopped immediately, the lawyer said. He conveyed the words of the doctors to Rustamov, but he refused to end the hunger strike.
At the same time, Bayramov said that another prisoner who had been placed with Rustamov the day before had already been taken out of there. “This man ate near Saleh Rustamov, which intensified his torment,” the penitentiary service failed to receive comments.
* Supporter of the Popular Front Party, veteran of the first Karabakh war, Saleh Rustamov, was arrested in May 2018 and sentenced to 7 years 3 months in prison on a falsified case of “illegal financing of the Popular Front Party”.
Human rights activists recognized him as a political prisoner. On November 6, he began an indefinite hunger strike demanding his release.
Saleh Rustamov is a veteran of the Karabakh war. In 1992, being the head of the Executive Power of the Gadabay region, he was one of the leaders of the Bashkand operation to ensure the security of the border villages of the region. —06B06-
