According to the latest information I have received, my husband, Afgan Sadigov, has already been released. However, since I cannot contact him at the moment, I do not have accurate information about the reason for his detention, - Sevinch Sadigova, the wife of Azerbaijani journalist Afgan Sadigov, writes on social networks.
According to her, the recent events give her serious grounds for concern.
“Given these events, I have quite serious grounds for concern. Everything I have experienced so far confirms that our lives have been completely turned upside down and destroyed. It is impossible not to worry in such a situation. I am very worried about Afgan’s life!” - writes Sadigova.
Earlier Sevinch Sadigova stated that her husband had been detained by the police.
