According to credible reports, Ali Karimli was subjected to sleep deprivation for more than 70 days.

Omissions

• The exact figure ('more than 70 days') does not appear in any source located; the sources confirm the described fact (sleep deprivation of Ali Karimli), not the figure.
• One located source (Kyiv Post) reports a different duration — 'at least 12 consecutive days' of sleep deprivation — rather than 70 days; this may refer to an earlier, shorter reporting period rather than the cumulative total.
• The 'loud noise every 15 minutes' detail was not found; sources refer more generally to 'regular nighttime noise' / systematic sleep deprivation.
• The MEP cites 'credible reports' generically; the specific report containing the 70-day figure could not be identified within the search scope.
