Azerbaijan arrested another opposition leader Qubad Ibadoglu. Baku came up with some charges against him. He was a vocal critic of the government for economic policy and corruption. The US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller referred to the issue during his press briefing.
“We are closely following the arrest of Qubad Ibadoglu. The United States remains strongly committed to advancing respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. We urge Azerbaijan to protect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of its citizens, including Qubad Ibadoglu, consistent with Azerbaijan’s own constitution and international obligations and commitments”, said Miller answering a journalist’s question about Ibadoglu’s arrest.
