Protest highlights tensions over prison conditions and press freedom in Baku
Fatima Movlamli ended a hunger strike after authorities at the Baku Pretrial Detention Centre agreed to restore open family visits previously blocked by glass partitions. Movlamli, detained since February 2025 in connection with a case targeting independent outlet Meydan TV, began the protest on March 8 to demand contact rights with relatives.
