Famil Khalilov, a social activist, a disabled person of the 1st group, detained in the medical-sanitary department of Baku Detention Center No. 1, began a hunger strike on August 15. He is claiming that he is being detained illegally and that he is suffering because of his physical limitations.
The lawyer Fakhreddin Mehdiyev told Turan about this.
According to him, on August 15, Famil Khalilov’s official request to start a hunger strike was submitted to the prison administration.
“The family has completely refused food and only drinks water. His situation is very difficult, unbearable. He can’t take care of himself. The family is kept in the medical and sanitation section of the detention center, but his roommates who take care of him there are also tired. They can’t look at it. “We believe that initiating action for the relevant authorities to consider Famil’s case in a humane way could lead to Famil’s hunger strike,” said the lawyer.
Because Famil Khalilov is paralyzed, his movement is limited and no social worker has been appointed to take care of him.
The Pension Service has not yet responded to the inquiry regarding Famil Khalilov.
On July 26, the preliminary investigation of the criminal case against Famil Khaliov was completed. Currently, the defense side and Khalilov are familiar with the criminal case.
The lawyer Fakhraddin Mehdiyev regrets that his request to replace the pre-trial detention measure with house arrest against Famil Khalilov was not granted.
“Famil Khalilov is paralyzed. It is very difficult for him to keep in prison conditions. Since his arms are paralyzed, he cannot take food and water freely, and he cannot wash himself. It is kept in a sanitary facility. He only gets help from his colleagues. “They tie their hands with cloth because they can’t keep their allowance while moving,” said the lawyer.
Khalilov, who was detained on May 2, was charged with Article 234.4.3 of the Criminal Code (preparation, transportation, storage of large quantities of drugs for the purpose of sale). A preventive measure of 4 months imprisonment was chosen for the activist. This section provides for imprisonment from 5 to 12 years.
His relatives say that he is innocent, that he was punished for his posts on social networks.
On May 6, Famil Khalilov was placed in the medical-sanitary section of Baku Investigative Detention Center No. 1 due to his deteriorating condition.
