Prominent representatives of the Azerbaijani intellectuals, a screenwriter Rustam Ibrahimbayov and writer Chingiz Huseynov have joined the Committee to protect the rights of the Director of the Institute for Peace and Democracy, Leyla Yunus. "I am deeply outraged by persecution of Leyla Yunus and her husband Arif, who I know personally as honest and noble people, who reject all negative, abnormal and hypocritical that so inclusive and monstrous, to my regret exists in my homelands - in Azerbaijan, and in Russia!
I want to support the efforts of those who have no fear, courageously and openly speak out against the tyranny of power structures," said Chingiz Huseynov.-0-
