Azerbaijani activists demanded the release of Gubad Ibadoglu

In Azerbaijan, on National Revival Day, a group of public figures organized a flash mob demanding the release of the famous economist professor and opposition politician Gubad Ibadoglu. The day before, his arrest was extended for another three months. The lawyer noted that the charges have no legal basis.

Let us remind you that Azerbaijani politician and economist Gubad Ibadoglu was detained on charges of making counterfeit money. On the day of his arrest, a search was carried out at his place of residence, during which banknotes worth 40 thousand dollars were discovered.

Then he was charged with producing, storing or distributing extremist materials. The accused rejects the investigators' arguments.

The arrest of Gubad Ibadoglu caused a wide resonance in the world. Human rights activists believe that the scientist is being persecuted for political reasons. Politicians from the United States and European countries came out in support of it.
