On 12 September, a rally in defence of Gubad Ibadoglu was held in Washington in front of the White House.  A group of activists, including his son Emin Bayramly, who is studying in the US, demanded the release of the politician.

The organiser of the rally, Murad Guliyev, said the demonstration aimed to inform international organisations and especially the US administration about Ibadoglu's case.

The participants called on the US, EU and international organisations not to remain indifferent to the persecution of citizens in Azerbaijan for their beliefs and to contribute to the release of Ibadoglu and all other political prisoners. -16/06В-
