Saleh Rustamov's hunger strike continues
Baku/30.11.21/Turan: Despite a sharp deterioration of health, Saleh Rustamov has been on a hunger strike for 25 days, said his lawyer Bahruz Bayramov, who visited Rustamov on November 30 at the Medical Institution of the Penitentiary Service.

"The hunger strike is approaching a critical point," said the defender.
* A supporter of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan, a veteran of the first Karabakh war, Saleh Rustamov was arrested in May 2018 and sentenced to 7 years 3 months in prison in the so-called case of “illegal financing of the Popular Front Party”. Human rights activists recognized him as a political prisoner. Subsequently, the Supreme Court reduced the sentence by 2 months. Since November 6, he has been on an indefinite hunger strike demanding his release. -03В06-
