Human rights activist Azimjan Askarov was imprisoned in Kyrgyzstan in 2010 for a crime he says he did not commit. Ever since then his wife Khadicha has campaigned tirelessly for his release. Now she sees one last chance for justice in an appeal hearing at the Supreme Court. But as she prepares for the verdict, coronavirus is spreading across Kyrgyzstan, stopping Khadicha's prison visits and putting 69 year old Azimjan at risk.
