Azerbaijani journalist Afghan Sadygov, who was deported from Georgia, has been banned from contacting his family. His wife, Sevinj Sadygova, reported this on social media.
“According to the information I received, my husband, Afghan Sadygov, is being held in the Kurdakhany pretrial detention center. He is also prohibited from contacting his family and calling his relatives,” Sevinj Sadygova wrote.
A few days ago, Azerbaijani journalist Afghan Sadygov, who was previously deported from Georgia, was re-arrested in Azerbaijan in connection with a case that had previously been closed.
As a reminder, on the night of April 4, 2026, Afghan Sadygov was forcibly removed from his home in Tbilisi and expelled to Azerbaijan. Following this, the European Court of Human Rights issued a special statement pointing to a gross violation of the law by the Georgian authorities.
