The lawyer, Anar Gasymly, visited the journalist, Parviz Hashimli, in the MNS jail. Hashimli is accused of smuggling and illegal possession of weapons.
As the lawyer told Turan, the journalist did not complain about the conditions of his detention and said he was not subjected to torture or other forms of physical pressure.
Only when arrested was he subjected to violence - then he fell and injured his knee.
Hashimli also denied reports that he was requested to speak against the leader of the Popular Front Party, Ali Kerimli.
At the same time, Hashimli denies the charges against him.
Recall that Hashimli is a parliamentary correspondent for the newspaper Bizim Yol, the head of the site, Moderator.az and the NGO Center for protection of political and civil rights, as well as a member of the Supreme Majlis of PPFA.
If proven guilty, he can face up to eight years in prison. -06D-
