I met in the EP in Strasbourg with Ms. Zhala Bayramova, Azerbaijani Human Rights Lawyer and daughter of Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu (Azerbaijani academic and anti-corruption fighter prosecuted by president Aliyev´s regime and nominated for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought 2024). Although Mr. Ibadoghlu did not win the Sakharov Prize, he was invited to deliver a speech at the EP Plenary session during the award ceremony. However, the Azerbaijani regime denied Mr. Ibadoghlu to leave the country. I thus met with Zhala and discussed with her his health situation and campaigning activities for his support and how can I assist her.
