He was X-rayed, his blood pressure was measured and he was recommended to undergo tests. However, he did not agree and demanded that doctors whom he trusts come to the pre-trial detention center. To do this, we will make an official appeal,” the spouse said. At the same time, she pointed to the deterioration of her husband’s health. “Nazim said he feels bad. Every year in November, he received physiotherapy treatment for bronchitis, but due to his arrest, he was unable to undergo treatment this year,” Farida Beidemirli said.
