An imprisoned human rights defender Tale Hasmamedov was released from the punishment cell, and was placed to the hospital of the Penitentiary Service, according to the Public Alliance "Azerbaijan without political prisoners." In early February Hasmamedov’s wife told about serious health problems of her husband, and the refusal of the prison administration to hospitalize him. On February 12th Tale was placed to the punishment cell for 15 days, accusing of quarrel with a cellmate. However Hasmamedov’s relatives believe that he was punished because he complained about the refusal of the administration to treat him.
Last week, the Committee to Protect Civil Society appealed to the leadership of the Penitentiary Service of the parole of Hasmamedov, and transferring him to a hospital. Hasmamedov suffers strong disorder of the nervous system, rheumatism, convulsions and other diseases. Before his arrest he was examined twice abroad, and was recommended a surgery.
Hasmamedov is known for exposing corruption and violations by the executive powers of Goychay-Ujar region. They several times threatened him, and demanded to stop publication. In 2015, he was charged with disorderly conduct, and was sentenced to three years. -03D-
