“Torturing the detainees, these persons cursed Allah with foul language. Taleh protests against this and demands the punishment of these persons. Torture is not new, but insulting Allah is already the transition of all facets,” Ismayilzadeh said.
According to her, on June 3, Bagirzade officially notified the head of the Gobustan covered prison about the hunger strike. On June 5, Ismailzade spoke to her husband on the phone. He said that there are no health problems and he will starve until the end,” Ismayilzadeh said.

Two activists were released a few hours after the arrest.
One of them, Mail Karimov, said that after being detained, he was taken to the 22nd department of the Nasimi police, and from there to the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and tortured there. Suleyman Alekperov, another Muslim Unity activist, made a similar statement.
