* Saleh Rustamov, a supporter of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan, was arrested in May 2018 and sentenced to 7 years 3 months in prison in the so-called case of "illegal financing of the Popular Front Party". Human rights activists recognized him as a political prisoner. Subsequently, the Supreme Court reduced the sentence by 2 months. Since November 6, he has been on an indefinite hunger strike demanding his release. —06D-
