He then became head of the news department at the Azerbaijan State Television and Radio Company. [2]

In 1986, Chingiz Alakbarzadeh was illegally sentenced[clarification needed] to two years and eight months in prison. He was released in 1988. His time in prison influnced his writing of Zindan and Türmə mənim ahımdır.[3]
