months.
The court rejected the defense motion to replace the restrictive
measure on house arrest. Azerbaijani human rights activist are
transfered to the Investigative Prison of the Ministry of National
Security, where her husband Mr. Arif Yunusov has been detained since
August 5. They are accused of treason, fraud, tax evasion and illegal
business.
Leyla Yunus remained in the Detention Unit for 2.5 months and
regularly complained of psychological and physical torture.
Recall, the West has repeatedly called for the release of Leyla Yunus
and her husband, still their names are missing in the list of 80
political prisoners amnestied by a decree signed by Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliev last week.
