Original Note:

US identifies him as a political, religious freedom prisoner. “The arrest followed a high-profile speech Samadov made days before, in 2011, in which he denounced Ilham Aliyev over a ban on wearing religious headscarves and other issues in the country.” https://www.uscirf.gov/religious-prisoners-conscience/forb-victims-database/movsum-samadov https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-religious-freedom/azerbaijan/
