Shamkhal Huseynov’s brother Alovsat Huseynov said this to APA. According to him, on May 2, his brother phoned home and said he was safe and sound.
“Shamkhal did not say anything else. Some media outlets reports quoting his wife, family that he has been released. This is not true,” he said.
Alovsat Huseynov said they appealed to the Foreign Ministry, Azerbaijan’s Consulate in Iran and Iran’s embassy in Azerbaijan for the release of his brother and Khalida Khalid.
