Trend.az, one of many puppet media outlets in Azerbaijan<br \/>\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/az.trend.az\/azerbaijan\/society\/2483026.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n      said<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n    , \u201cA. Clooney is of Armenian dissent and represented Armenia before Swiss, Armenian, French and European Court of Human Rights on \u2018Armenian genocide\u2019. All the while \u201cforgetting\u201d to mention that Amal Ramzi Alamuddin was born in Beirut and that she moved to London together with her family during the civil war in Lebanon.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    Some of Amal Clooney\u2019s high profile cases include WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Yuliya Tymoshenko, and Canadian-Egyptian journalist Mohamed Fahmy- one of three Al-Jazeera journalists detained in Egypt and sentenced to 7 years.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    But the story on Trend.az does not mention any of that, nor did Azernews.az or many other outlets. \u201cSo, deeply committed to anti-Turkic ideals Amal Clooney now has taken to Azerbaijan, first to prove her loyalty to Armenian lobbyists and second, to undersign another big case without caring who wins\u201d,<br \/>\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azernews.az\/analysis\/91874.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n      bashed<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n    the article on Azernews.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    Refraining from bashing but sticking to Clooney\u2019s work on the case of Armenia was also brought up in another local<br \/>\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/525.az\/site\/?name=xeber&amp;news_id=49927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n      paper<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n    525.az.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    This kind of slander is not uncommon in Azerbaijan. Often critics of the government get labeled various kinds of names and affiliations ranging from being Western agents to spies and last but not least traitors. Everyone who is critical of the government at home or abroad is an Armenian. In my recent<br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opendemocracy.net\/od-russia\/arzu-geybulla\/searching-for-armenian-lobby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n      piece<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n    for Open Democracy I tried illustrating how desperate the authorities in Azerbaijan are to cling to this na\u00efve if not ridiculous accusation each time the country\u2019s deteriorated democracy, human rights or freedom of expression record is spotted and criticized.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    So why continue sticking to this nonsense and endure embarrassment even further? This is merely a sign of weakness and inability to state facts indicating fragility not only of the whole system on which the government of Azerbaijan operates but also how biased if not completely feeble its apologists, media and advocates are.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    In the meantime, the European Court decided to prioritize two more of Khadija\u2019s cases- the violation of privacy [secret camera footage] and the failure of the authorities to properly investigate and prosecute- according to Media Defense Initiative.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    Khadija also<br \/>\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rferl.org\/content\/azerbaijan-khadija-clooney-european-court\/27501823.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n      confirmed<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n    that prominent human rights lawyer will represent her case at the ECHR. Speaking to her lawyer Fariz Namazli Khadija said she agreed to Clooney\u2019s offer because of her \u201ccourage\u201d while defending Al-Jazeera journalist Mohamed Fahmy in 2014.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    Khadija Ismayilova was detained on December 5, 2014. Her original charge was her involvement in allegedly pushing a man to attempt suicide. But absurdity of these charges was so clear that even the authorities knew they could not keep Ismayilova in jail for long on this bogus accusation. After extending Ismayilova\u2019s detention by additional two months, she was charged with a series of new \u201ceconomic charges\u201d ranging from tax evasion, to abuse of power and illegal entrepreneurship. In September 2015 Ismayilova was sentenced to 7.5 years in jail.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    But there was no attempt to suicide, nor were there any economic violations, these charges were the byproduct of the wild imagination of Azerbaijani officials afraid of Khadija\u2019s work exposing government corruption in this small oil rich country.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    Perhaps, it is not surprising then that it is this wild imagination that keeps the country\u2019s officials detached from the reality, stuck in a world of conspiracy theories and made up enemies all the while sticking to what they know and do best- humiliate, intimidate and silence.\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    <i><br \/>\n      This article originally appeared on Arzu Geybullayeva&#8217;s<br \/>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/flyingcarpetsandbrokenpipelines.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n        blog<br \/>\n      <\/a><br \/>\n      .<br \/>\n    <\/i>\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>\n    <i><br \/>\n      <b><br \/>\n        The views expressed in this article are the author&#8217;s own and do not necessarily reflect Meydan TV&#8217;s editorial policy.<br \/>\n      <\/b><br \/>\n    <\/i>\n  <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few days ago, I received news that renowned British human rights lawyer Amal Clooney will represent the case of Khadija Ismayilova, Azerbaijan\u2019s unlawfully jailed top investigative reporter at the European Court of Human Rights.
