According to Rasul Jafarov, the head of the Communist Party of the Czech Republic, anyone who wants to support Mammadov can write slogans such as "Free Ilgar!", "Ilgar has the right to be free", "Do not violate the rights of Ilgar!", Etc. and publish them together with photos on their Facebook accounts and Twitter.
The campaign will last until October 25, when the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe will consider the application of Article 46 of the European Convention on Human Rights in Azerbaijan, which provides for the application of measures of responsibility against a country that does not comply with the ECHR decision.
