For a long time I have not been writing. I have been imposed a tight ring, as they fear my words more than bullets.
Well, we both have been extended the term of imprisonment until August (exactly a year since the arrest).
Now I understand and know their plans: we will be held in jail until the trial at the end of 2015, and then a circus trial will take place - given the judgment, and a whole bunch of the articles hung, they will give us from 10 to 15 years.
I with my experience understand all clearly...
Scary? Scary. It is very scary that we will not be together - you, me and Dinara.
Who supports me? On the one hand, V. Shalamov, on the other – A. Solzhenitsyn.
I know you have Order No 227 and Chuikov next to you.
We were given the infamous Article 58-6 (espionage), which fully revives the spirit of Stalinism...
Yes, Shalamov served 18 years, and Solzhenitsyn - 8.
But they were young. Solzhenitsyn was 27 years old when arrested, and we are 60...
Pericles finally realized the shamefulness of holding the Olympics in jail! Games were played, but the spirit of Pericles was against the use of the term Olympic...
Amnesty International has collected 50,000 signatures demanding our immediate release.
Dinara has given all this information in an interview with the First Channel of the Dutch TV.
By the way she regularly speaks in the European media and on TV.
People already recognize her in the street and come up to her, expressing admiration for our family...
On February 23 Dinara registered the Institute for Peace and Democracy in the Netherlands.
Now our IPD led by Yunus (!) will continue to work in partnership with the leading human rights organizations in the world...
Arif, my dear! We've been together for 37 years. It is very hard without you… But we have already found our place in history...
Your Leyla.

In Ukraine, a brutal, bloody war caused by Russian aggression continues, claiming lives, destroying homes, demolishing infrastructure, and inflicting incalculable harm on the environment and surrounding natural ecosystems. Ukraine, more than anyone else in this world, strives for peace, as we bear the daily brutality of this Russian-Ukrainian war. We are at the forefront of the struggle for the right to life, freedom, and justice. Ukraine seeks a just peace that will lay a solid foundation for a stable future for Europe and the World, and the only way of achieving this is to implement President Volodymyr Zelensky's Peace Formula (the Ukrainian Peace Formula).

On the eve of a large-scale flood approaching Baku, a disturbing incident occurred in the village of Buzovna, where a Lada Priora car fell into the ground, literally collapsing the road beneath it. The driver miraculously remained unharmed but vowed to seek justice, promising to file an official complaint with the prosecutor’s office against Azersu OJSC, the state-owned water supply and sewerage company, often associated with deeply rooted corruption.

In a bit of historic irony, powerful oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili has managed to inspire rare unity across Georgia’s cacophonous political scene twice in his life. His money and influence forged the broad-based consolidation of opposition forces that brought him to power in 2012, and now, 12 years and three electoral cycles later, a similar pattern of opposition convergence could send him packing.

Russian authorities and pro-Kremlin influencers have been spreading false information about alleged Reporters Without Borders (RSF) research into Nazi tendencies within the Ukrainian military, which was featured in a viral video falsely attributed to the BBC. RSF exposes the inner workings of a disinformation campaign designed to justify President Vladimir Putin's war narrative.
