Yesterday three of the journalist hunger-strikers; Zamin Haji, Elshan Balakhanli and Zahid Safaroglu, stopped hunger-striking due to deteriorations in their health.
The Institute for Reporters’ Freedom and Safety was also told that the Emergency Medical Services was called because Shahvaled Chobanoglu’s health condition deteriorated. Despite this, Chobanoglu continues his strike.
Today “Mukhalifet” Newspaper Chief Editor Rovshan Kebirli and editor Yashar Agazade joined the hunger-strike, as well as 14 people from the Classic Popular Front Party.
