Baku / 05/01/19 / Turan: US Senator Marco Rubio called on official Baku to immediately release blogger Mehman Huseynov.
"Azerbaijani blogger Mehman Huseynov remains imprisoned on a trumped-up charge. Now he is in a critical situation due to a hunger strike. The government of Azerbaijan should release him immediately," the senator wrote in his blog on Twitter.
Recall that Huseynov continues his hunger strike for the 10th day in connection with a new case brought against him about alleged resistance to the warden in the prison, where he is serving a two-year term on defamation charges against the police. -16D-
