Azerbaijani law enforcers ignore the demand to return foreign passport to Leyla Yunus, says the lawyer
Law enforcers of Azerbaijan ignore the demands for the return of foreign passports to the spouses Leyla and Arif Yunus, the lawyer Khalid Bagirov asserts.
The lawyer has stressed that the Yunus spouses are witnesses in the case of journalist Rauf Mirkadirov; but there is no official ban on their departure abroad.
The lawyer Bagirov has also sent a notice to the bank, where Arif Yunus has his account. The notice states the illegality of the bank's refusal to give out Arif's deposit of 8749 euros without a court's permit.
Leyla Yunus believes that she and her husband are pressed for political reasons; she stated that "no pressure will stop her struggle; and she would continue her human rights activities."
