The Azerbaijani scholar complained about the lack of medical assistance in the colony.

Researcher Bakhruz Samedov, who is in prison, complained about the cramped conditions of his detention. According to his lawyer, the prescribed treatment was insufficient.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the cassation appeal against the sentence of researcher Bakhruz Samedov was left ungranted by the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan. The political scientist's defense intends to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.

Researcher Bakhruz Samedov, through his friend and like-minded person Amrakh Takhmazov, sent a message to the media and the public, in which he complained about the conditions of detention in the covered part of the Umbak Prison Complex and the lack of medical assistance. "I am held in a cell with six people. How can one person live in such a cramped cell for a year? The goal is to destroy me both psychologically and physically," Samedov's communication states.

Amrakh Takhmazov pointed out Samedov's vision problems. "Because Bakhruz is held in a small cell, he is deprived of the opportunity to look into the distance. An ophthalmologist examined him, who also recognized the negative impact on Bakhruz's vision from being in such conditions. However, the doctor did not prescribe any treatment, only drops," Amrakhov reported.

According to him, Samedov was also examined by a dermatologist due to eczema, which worsened in detention due to a lack of sunlight exposure. "And this doctor did not prescribe any treatment. When Bakhruz said that he was already in despair from the unjust arrest, poor conditions of detention, and lack of treatment," continued Samedov's friend.

Lawyer Zibeyda Sadigova confirmed the information about the lack of effective medical assistance provided to Samedov.
