The Georgian Prosecutor's Office accused the opposition television channel TV Pirveli of spreading "further disinformation" after airing a report about Tamar Bezhuashvili, the prosecutor in the case of the attempted storming of the presidential palace. The office stated that this is the second time in the past six weeks that the channel has produced material related to the business activities of the prosecutor's father and is "completely unfoundedly" attempting to link it to her professional work.
In Baku, a court extended the arrest of the chairman of the Azerbaijan Democracy and Prosperity Party, economist Gubad Ibadoglu, for three months. The politician stated that the charges and his detention were groundless.
The prisoner has cardiovascular diseases and an acute form of diabetes. At the same time, doctors hired by relatives to prescribe treatment for him are not allowed into the pre-trial detention center.
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.
Later, 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.
