The aim of the visit was to examine and find out the gaps in the conditions of this prison. For the moment of the visit from 1200 places 760 were taken by those, adjusted for less heavy crimes. Third of them (250) are drug users. The percentage of drug users for the current year is 80%.
According to Novella Jafaroglu (right) the meeting with journalists was possible within the framework of the monitoring carried out in those prisons. “We met with Sakit one-on-one,” said Jafaroglu. “The purpose of our meeting was news disseminated concerning danger to his life. During our conversation with Sakit, it was determined that one of the prisoners occupies an aggressive position towards him as a result of disinformation passed by several people. This aggression was not only observed by one concrete action, but also by this prisoner’s gaze, his following, and there was some feeling that he could have injured him. However, prison leadership placed the prisoner in the penalty cell after sensation in the press. There’s no problem associated with Sakit’s security at the moment. Today or tomorrow the prisoner will be placed in a different prison. In a few days Sakit will be transferred to a different prison. Eynulla Fatullayev looked cheerful. During our conversation he told us that he appealed to the European Court of Human Rights and he is waiting for reply.”
