The Prison Service has not taken any measures to provide medical assistance to Faig Amirov, Turan agency was told by Lala amirova, the wife of the arrested director of the newspaper "Azadlig." " Faig is suffering from a stomach ulcer and needs a diet food, but in jail it is not possible and the authorities are not doing anything to treat him," said the wife.
In turn, the lawyer Agil Laidjev said that all the necessary certificates confirming the disease had been submitted to the Prison Service, but not any real steps are taken to assist him. As a result, in the period after the arrest Amirov has lost 20 kilo, said the lawyer.
"Taking into account his health, the authorities at least on humanitarian grounds should change him a measure of restraint on house arrest. However, my request in this regard was rejected by the court," said the lawyer.
The press service of the Prison Service refused to comment on the health of Amirov, recommending to appeal to the medical management of the Ministry of Justice. Deputy Chief of the structure, Iftikhar Gurbanov promised to "consider and keep it in focus."
The financial director of the newspaper "Azadlig" Faig Amirov was arrested on trumped-up charges of having links with Fatulla Gülen and inciting religious hatred. However, the investigation quickly "forgot" about the charges. Now the prosecutor's office is looking for evidence of illegal financing of the newspaper "Azadlig", trying to find a confirmation of tax evasion. The purpose of government is to finally strangle the last opposition newspaper in the country.-03B-

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
