“Actually, the cruel policy towards my son Teymur continues. His health is already ruined, there is no immunity, there was a hypertensive crisis, he was seriously ill with COVID-19, he did not have time to recover, he was placed in a punishment cell, where in a punishment cell you suffer not only from cold and hunger, but in a confined space, in hostile, destructive conditions, you are completely alone,”,- the message said.
