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.
