The killed believer Aga Sarkhani
The widow, Sevinj Sarkhani, of the Ganja resident and a member of the “Muslim Unity” Movement Aga Sarkhani, who was killed by the special police unit of Azerbaijan on 25 July 2018, has spread a video message, in which she claimed the pressure on her by the law enforcement authorities. She said in her video message that for over a year she had been trying in vain to get her husband’s body in order to bury him properly. According to her words, following her appeal to the various state bodies, she was summoned to the Kyapaz District Police Department in Ganja and asked to cease her complaints. Otherwise, they threatened her with massacre of her children.
Sevinj Sarkhani further indicated that after being summoned to the police, she was followed by some people in civilian clothes. She accused the Ganja authorities of possible damage to the health and life of her family members.
