Nubar Kerimova, sister of lifer Dayanat Kerimov, accused of vice-speaker Afiyeddin Jalilov’s assassination and going on hunger strike in Gobustan jail wants to start hunger strike, Kerimova told.

Kerimova said that she talked to her brother over the telephone and asked him to strop the action, but Dayanat Kerimov insisted on going on hunger strike.

The prisoner said that he will stop hunger strike only when his appeal on commuting his life sentence to 15-year imprisonment sent to Garadagh district court is considered.

"If Dayanat feels bad, I will go on hunger strike outside President's Office," she said.

Justice Ministry Penitentiary Service confirmed that Kerimov has not stopped hunger strike, APA reports.

Nine other prisoners started hunger strike along with Dayanat Kerimov on March 27 stopped hunger strike yesterday.
