Wife of Tofig Yagublu announced the deterioration of his health

Baku/01.07.22/Turan: The wife of opposition politician Tofig Yagublu, who is on a hunger strike for the third day at the Detention Center for Administratively Arrested Persons, announced a deterioration in his health.

On January 7, May Yagublu met her husband in the isolation ward.

“I took the package to Tofig. I hoped that maybe the food would be accepted, I would be given a meeting, and thus Tofig's demands would be partially satisfied and he would end the hunger strike. However, the products were not accepted. After my insistent demands, we were given a meeting, but through a glass partition. You can communicate there by phone. But today suddenly all the phones were out of order. We hardly managed to communicate for only 10 minutes. I was horrified when I saw Tofig - he lost a lot of weight, was very weak. Although he goes on a hunger strike for three days, even before that, he actually did not eat anything. The prison soup that they are given there is impossible to eat. And all this time (since December 23) he actually ate cookies in the isolation ward,” Yagublu told Turan.

She stated that the responsibility for the possible consequences of Yagublu's hunger strike on his health and life will be on the Azerbaijani authorities.
 
As a sign of solidarity with her husband, she also went on a hunger strike, which she will conduct at home.
Recall that a member of the National Council of Democratic Forces and the Musavat party, Tofig Yagublu, was detained on December 23 at a protest rally in the center of Baku demanding the release of public activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev.
On the same day, the Sabail court arrested him for 30 days on charges of petty hooliganism and insubordination to the police. On January 5, the Baku Court of Appeal upheld this decision. In protest, Yagublu went on a hunger strike. -21B06-
