It is reported that Ulvi Hasanli was pressured in the detention center
It is said that Ulvi Hasanli, the director of the “Abzas Media” press agency, detained in the Baku Detention Center No. 1, was subjected to threats.
Toplum TV informs that on December 11, “Turan” information agency published information about this with reference to his relatives.
It is reported that Hasanli was banned from meetings and phone conversations with his relatives, and then from communicating with lawyers over the phone. All this happened after his appeal to the Ombudsman. The administration of the detention center warned that if he continues to complain, “his condition will worsen.”
In response to a request from the Penitentiary Service to comment on this information, they said that the issue will be investigated and information will be provided.
It should be noted that Ulvi Hasanli was detained on November 20. The next day, the court arrested him for 4 months on charges of smuggling. Ulvi Hasanli denied the accusations and linked the persecution against him with corruption investigations conducted by “Abzas Media”.
