The cases of Dr Gubad Ibadoghlu and Ilhamiz Guliyev will be on the table too. Ibadoghlu was arrested on 23 July 2023 on counterfeiting charges and remains in detention, reportedly with limited access to food and vitally needed medication, subject to humiliating treatment and strict limitations of contacts with his family and lawyer, in violation of his fundamental rights. Guliyev was detained on December 4, 2023, and two days later was arrested for four months on charges of large-scale drug trafficking, JAM News reported. According to human rights defenders, the true reason for Guliyev’s arrest was his interview with Abzas Media, in which he stated that the police use undocumented drugs to falsify criminal cases. Guliyev was presented in the interview as a former police officer. In the past, he had unofficially assisted a police investigator. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
