The number of hunger strikers in solidarity with Tofig Yagublu is growing
Baku/11.01.23/Turan: The hunger strike in solidarity with the arrested activist Tofig Yagublu continues. The solidarity rally takes place in two places: at Yagublu's apartment, where women are on hunger strike, and at the headquarters of the "Musavat" party.
The wife of the activist, Maya Yagublu, is on a hunger strike in the apartment. “That night my blood pressure increased and I called an ambulance. The doctors helped to stabilize the pressure, but now I have acute pain in my kidneys. However, I will continue my hunger strike in support of my husband. If to die, we will die together,” Maya Yagublu told Turan.
She also said that PFPA activist Gunel Babayeva, who joined her on January 10, was forced to stop the action today because of the flu. Another PFPA activist Gulnara Rahimova continues her hunger strike. Members of the "Musavat" party Natig Israilli and PFPA member Shirvan Soltanov joined the hunger strike at the headquarters of the Musavat party on January 11.
Members of the PFPA Tavakkul Hasanov, Ismailiddin Gasimov and Zekrulla Nagiyev have been on hunger strike here since January 10.

The authorities have not yet responded to the protesters' demands for the release of Tofig Yagublu, Bakhtiyar Hajiyev and other political prisoners, the protester Babek Hasanov told Turan .
According to Hasanov, the protesters are visited by representatives of civil society, political parties and human rights activists. Today, PFPA leader Ali Karimli visited the "Musavat" headquarters and expressed support for the protesters and their demands.
