Ilgar Mamedov Hungry in the Cell

Baku. Put in the box in the prison in
Kurdakhani on May 30, the leader of the civil movement "Republican
Alternative> (REAL) Ilgar Mamedov is kept hungry there. Turan was told by
the lawyer Khalid Bagirov, who visited Mamedov on June 1.

As explained by the lawyer, from the
outset of his detention in jail, Mamedov refuses to take food that is given to
this institution. He does this for security reasons and the poor quality of the
food.  He usually gets food from his
family.

However, after the conclusion in the box
Mamedov is not given homemade food and he refuses to accept food that is given
to the jail.

The lawyer said that during these days
Mamedov strongly pinched. He is not given the chance to shave in the box. He
has an overgrown beard.

According to the counsel, they want to
break Mamedov.

Bagirov said that the transfer of Mamedov
into the box was illegal. Mamedov has the right to remain in solitary
confinement, and rightly disagreed with the transfer of him by a suspicious
person in order to avoid provocation.

Especially since the end of February they
once brought to the cell a man who behaved suspiciously and offered him to
leave the country, and then to commit suicide. As it turned out, it was a
former employee of the law enforcement agencies.

Bagirov noted that at the conclusion of
Mammadov in solitary confinement and inhuman treatment of him, a complaint will
be filed to the court.

However, judicial review of the complaint
will be delayed until Mammadov comes out of lockup. However, there he will
still remain until June 5, and further deprivation can have serious health
consequences.

In this regard, the counsel urged Western
embassies and government offices of international organizations to intervene
immediately to ensure the legitimate rights of Mamedov.

Recall that Mamedov was arrested on
charges of organizing the riots in Ismailly on January 23-24. The public
considers him a prisoner of conscience.

The European Court of Human Rights decided
to consider the complaint of Mamedov in advance.
