Tofig Yagublu refuses treatment and continues hunger strike
Baku / 14.01.22 / Turan: Opposition politician Tofig Yagublu, who is serving an administrative sentence in the form of arrest, has been on a hunger strike for the tenth day. At the same time, on January 14, he refused treatment in hospital number 6, where he was hospitalized on the seventh day of the action.
On Saturday, a doctor, professor Adil Geybulla met with Yagublu in the hospital.
“Today we examined Tofig Yagublu again. His blood pressure was 110/70. His condition is stable and his speech is normal. He had a chest X-ray and an abdominal ultrasound today. Surveys did not reveal any major problems. However, as a result of his hunger strike, he has a general sluggish weakness. This is especially felt when he gets up from his bed,” the doctor told Turan.
