The mother of Azerbaijani citizen Farid Safarli, detained in Iran, Dilyara Askerova, said that she spoke with her son two days ago and that he has no health problems.

“In the coming weeks, it will be known when the appeal court will take place. There is no hope that he will be pardoned,” the detainee’s mother told Trend.

To recap, a student at the University of Jena in Germany, Farid Gabil oglu Safarli (born in 1997), visited Iran on February 20, 2023, and there has been no news from him since March 4. It later turned out that he was arrested in Iran.

On July 19, the charge of “espionage” brought against Farid Safarli during the trial was replaced by the charge of “intent to carry out espionage.”

Azerbaijani Prosecutor General Kamran Aliyev told reporters that during a meeting with his Iranian counterpart, he asked him to consider the issue of Farid Safarli in accordance with the principles of humanism.

It should be noted that Farid Safarli was sentenced to 2 years in prison.
