Hajiyeva reports that meetings and telephone conversations with her brother were stopped as a result of the ban imposed in September 2018.

"The General Prosecutor"s Office is not responding to our requests," writes Hajiyeva. Attempts to resolve the issue by contacting the Administrative and Economic Court, so nothing is given.

"The barriers, obstacles and lawlessness generated by traditional views, cause us great hardships.
