Azerbaijani political prisoner reports violation of rights in colony

The leader of the movement "Muslim unity" Tale Bagirzade, who is serving a sentence in the penitentiary institution No. 12 of Azerbaijan, announced the violation of the rights of prisoners and poor conditions of detention. According to him, despite the summer heat, electricity and water supply are cut off for hours in the colony. The food quality is very low. The convicts are led out to line up on the parade ground under the scorching sun.

Prisoners who communicate with Tale Bagirzade are persecuted and forbidden to communicate with him. For this, one of them was put in a punishment cell for two months, the other for eight days.

Tale Bagirzade was arrested in November 2015 and sentenced to 20 years in prison. He was accused of terrorism, an attempt to change the constitutional order, and the creation of an illegal armed group. Human rights activists recognized him as a political prisoner.
