[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Despite serious health problems of “Toplum TV” founder Alesker Mammadli, Baku’s Khatai district court on 24 May again refused to transfer him under house arrest. This was reported to Turan by Mammadli’s lawyer Agyl Laij.<\/p>\n
Mammadli’s condition continues to deteriorate, nevertheless, the court did not satisfy the defence’s petition. At the same time, he is not given the opportunity for a thyroid tumour study.<\/p>\n
