Афган Садыгов
Baku / 23.04.18 / Turan: The health of the convicted founder and editor of the site azel.tv Afgan Sadygov sharply deteriorated, told his wife Sevinj Sadigova, who last week visited him in the Kurdakhan jail. According to her, her husband's blood pressure rises to 200/100, he has severe headaches and heart pain, convulsions and he periodically loses memory. In early April, Afghan was placed in the prison hospital, where he stayed for 10 days. After discharge from the hospital, his health again deteriorated sharply. The health of A.Sadigov is badly affected by his periodic transfers from prison N17 to the pre-trial detention center and back.
In November 2017, the Supreme Court reduced the sentence to A.Sadigov from 2.5 to 1.5 years imprisonment. However, in December 2017, a criminal suit on defamation filed by the former head of the Jalilabad region, A.Azizov, was renewed against him.
"We are worried about the health and life of Afgan, and ask that they at least be transferred to the prison hospital. On May 23 expires the term of his punishment. We want him to come out alive and healthy," Sadigova said.
Afghan Sadigov was detained on November 22, 2016. He was accused of having struck a woman in the building of the executive branch. Human rights organizations recognized him as a political prisoner. -16B-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
