Health condition of satirist Zakhidov convicted in Azerbaijan remains heavy
Satirical journalist Sakit Zakhidov who is in custody in Azerbaijan is still heavily sick and needs serious treatment. The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told about it at the Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety (IRFS).
The satirist's health condition remains heavy: he has cardiac insufficiency and rheumatism. The satirist was transferred to the prison hospital a month ago. However, unexpectedly he was returned back to the colony, sources at the IRFS have stated.
