"I have applied to the US Embassy for permission by the Pentagon. As far as I know, Azerbaijani detainee of Guantanamo camp Polad Sirajov suffered torture. He is being rehabilitated and will be released soon," he reported.

Elchin Behbudov also said the Azerbaijan Committee Against Tortures will launch monitoring of district police stations in the end of this week. He said police stations often use torture.
