Baku / 26.11.20 / Turan: Journalist Afgan Sadigov has been on a hunger strike for 23 days, and for the fourth day he refuses even to take water. This was stated by his wife Sevinj Sadigova.
“Afghan is actually on the verge of death. If he dies, the responsibility for this will fall on the authorities and hurt the country's image,” she said, stressing that the consideration of her husband's appeal is being delayed.
According to her, the judiciary will be appointed on 30 November, which within 15 working days will set the date for considering the complaint. For this reason, Sadigova intends to hold a protest action in front of the Baku Court of Appeal.
It was not possible to obtain comments from the Penitentiary Service.
* The head of Azel.TV Afgan Sadigov was arrested on charges of extortion through threats in May this year. On November 3, the court sentenced him to seven years in prison. Since November 4, he went on a hunger strike in protest, considering the sentence unfair. — 16D-
