Baku / 14.12.17 / Turan: Bayram Mammadov, a youth activist of the NIDA Movement, convicted for 10 years after writing political slogans on the monument to Heydar Aliyev, is imprisoned in a punishment cell in jail N13. According to the NIDA Movement, the reason became the activist's protest because of violence against another prisoner - Farhad Mursalov, who was beaten and died.

The father of the activist Farman Mammadov said that his son called home on December 12 for the last time and did not say anything disturbing. The next communication session should be on December 15 and parents hope that the son will call them.
