The Investigation Department of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Azerbaijan has banned the employee of the newspaper Azadliq newspaper Saadat Jahangir from leaving the country. For this reason, she cannot go for medical treatment. Jahangir told the news agency Turan that two years ago she was involved as a witness in a criminal case against Niyameddin Ahmedov, the bodyguard of the leader of the party Popular Front Ali Kerimli. At the same time, her home was searched and money, computers, and a mobile phone were seized. According to Jahangir, in Azerbaijan, the travel ban is used as moral torture against citizens with opposition views.
