DAUGHTER OF YUNUS APPEALS TO THE FRENCH PRESIDENT
Monday, October 27, 22:26
ArmInfo-Turan. Prior to the Paris meeting of the presidents of France,
Azerbaijan and Armenia, Dinara, a daughter of the arrested human
rights activists Leyla Yunus, sent an open letter to Francois
Hollande, in which she asked the French President to facilitate the
release of her parents.
In her message Dinara recalled that in May of this year during a
visit to Baku Hollande met with her mother, a knight of the Legion
of Honor of France, and recognized her merits in the field of human
rights protection.
"Unfortunately, your recognition means nothing to the Azerbaijani
authorities, and in summer my mother was arrested with absurd
accusations, she was sent to Baku detention facility N1," writes
Dinara Yunus.
Leyla Yunus is being exposed to "inhuman treatment in the detention
facility." "The greatest concern is the fact that the prison officer
brutally attacked my mom. He hit her on the head with his fist,
dragged by the hair, causing her great pain, risking blindness. My
mother suffered two serious operations on her eye, it implants in both
eyes ... Is France a blind eye to such injustice?" further notes Dinar.
She asks Hollande to demands from the President Ilham Aliyev to
immediately and unconditionally release her parents, as outlined in
the recently adopted resolution of the European Parliament.
"My parents need your high support now, because tomorrow it may be
too late," wrote Dinara Yunus.
