The European Parliament will discuss the work of the economist while the PACE deputies adopt a declaration

The imprisoned chairman of the Azerbaijan Democracy and Welfare Party (ADR), professor Gubad Ibadoglu, was released from prison. The Narimanov District Court issued a decision on this on April 22.

On August 25, a new charge was announced against him under Article 167-3.1 (Preparation, storage, distribution of religious extremist materials) of the Criminal Code. Gubad Ibadoglu said that this accusation was also absurd and refused to testify as a sign of protest.

On the day of his arrest, Gubad Ibadoglu said that he was arrested on the orders of President Ilham Aliyev when he was removed from the place after the search.
