“The United States must do more to help Gubad Ibadoghlu”
August 11, 2023
In an op-ed for the Washington Post, former U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Richard D. Kauzlarich, called for more action from the U.S. government to secure the release of Consortium Scholar, Gubad Ibadoghlu, from unjust imprisonment. Kauzlarich, who notes that the number of political prisoners in Azerbaijan is now upwards of 90, writes: “Ibadoghlu’s situation demands immediate action because the authorities are depriving him of the medicines necessary to treat several serious medical conditions.”
Dr. Ibadoghlu has now been in detention for over three weeks and faces irreparable damage to his health due to the conditions under which he is being held. Please sign our petition demanding his release and find up-to-date reporting on his case at the end of this post.
