Blogger Alexander Lapshin, who was pardoned by the Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev and was deported to Israel, has been taken to Haifa's Rambam Medical Center, Mignews reported.
The blogger underwent a series of the medical examinations.
After his visits to Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) in 2011 and 2012, blogger and journalist Alexander Lapshin—who is a citizen of Russia, Israel, and Ukraine—was “blacklisted” by Azerbaijan. The Minsk city court dismissed the blogger’s appeal of the Belarusian General Prosecutor’s Office decision to extradite him to Azerbaijan.
And a court in Baku sentenced him to three years in prison. But he spent solely nine months in places of detention.
Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev on September 11 signed a decree on pardoning Alexander Lapshin.
On the same day, however, it became known that he had attempted to commit suicide in prison.
