Baku / 01.08.18 / Turan: "I was informed that today my brother will be transferred to the Office for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where he will be tortured in order to knock out the necessary testimony," Lala Safarova told the online edition of Meydan TV. Lala is the sister of Yunis Safarov, who committed an armed attack on the head of Gence, Elmar Veliyev, on July 3.

According to his sister, Yunis is wanted to testify that he acted as part of an armed group and this attack was planned in advance by the group.

She also noted that her brother is not allowed to meet anyone, including lawyers.
