Samadov's grandmother can only give him a prison package worth about ₼200 ($118) from her pension once a month.

Magomed Magomedov was arrested in January 2024 during a solo picket in support of fellow journalist Abdulmumin Gadzhiev.

Samir Babayev, a member of the Muslim Unity Movement, told his family that he was tortured by police after being arrested on drug charges.

Police witnesses in the Ahmad Mammadli case testified at court hearings that they did not see him stabbing anyone.

This is already the second case of administrative arrest of Jeyhun Novruzov.

The organisation cited restrictive laws adopted by the ruling Georgian Dream party.

The jail had previously required all meetings to be held through a glass partition.
