Tofig Yagublu's health worsened

Baku/12.06.20/Turan: Due to the hot weather, the  health of the arrested deputy chairman of Musavat and member of the National Council Tofig Yagublu worsened, his daughter Nigar told Turan.

“My father suffers from asthma, and hot weather negatively affects his  health. True, they began to accept medicine and transmission for the father. But in prison he suffocates,” she said.

According to her, the investigation is still not closed. “The investigator said they are awaiting the conclusion of the examination. After that, the materials will be sent to court,” said Khazi.

*  Tofig Yagublu was arrested on charges of hooliganism and bodily harm on March 22. This happened a few days after the speech of President Ilham Aliyev with threats against the opposition.

Yagublu faces up to 7 years in prison. His “crime” was expressed in the fact that another car drove into his parked car, and those sitting in it attacked him, and then blamed Yagublu himself.

Many international organizations condemned the arrest of Yagublu, calling on authorities to release him immediately.

His companions are sure that the real reason for the arrest is a sharp criticism of the authorities' policies and the publication of Yagublu on Facebook.-21B06-
