Azerbaijani political prisoner Yusif Kari’s sentence was changed

in Ardabil prison

The administration of the Ardabil Central Prison has changed the sentence of Yusif Kari, an Azerbaijani political and cultural prisoner detained in the prison on December 14.

The sentence of this Azerbaijani activist may be changed due to the fact that he contacted his family and revealed signs of coronavirus infection in Section 7 of the Ardabil prison.

In recent weeks, the Azerbaijani political prisoner said in a telephone conversation with his family and relatives that he and another Azerbaijani political prisoner, Abbas Lisani, had severe coronavirus symptoms.

Yusif Kari was imprisoned for about a year in the 7th cell of Ardabil Central Prison along with Abbas Lisani and other political prisoners.

Yusif Kari was arrested by Iranian security forces on September 2, 2019 and sentenced to 6 years in prison by the First Department of the Ardabil Revolutionary Court.

The verdict was finally commuted to two years in prison in Ardabil Court of Appeal.
