Azerbaijan has lodged a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights reviewing the case of assassination attempt against blogger Alexander Lapshin. This is posted on Lapshin’s Facebook page.

“Wonderful news: Azerbaijan has lodged a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights for review of the case in the ECHR on October 11, 2021. This is in our interest, and below I will tell you way.

On May 20, 2021, when the European Court of Human Rights decided that Azerbaijan was guilty of the tortures against me and the assassination attempt, I said it was necessary to provoke them, that is, appeal, and since decisions enter into force 98.5% and aren’t reviewed, this is shameful for any state, and it causes more harm to Azerbaijan’s reputation. I had stated that I know the mindset of the Azerbaijanis very well and know what they think and dream about and how they will act. Remember that I said the Azerbaijanis will be defeated again in the fall. As soon as everyone forgets the story, they will remember it again. Really? I was a little concerned and asked myself what if they show themselves as a little more literate than they can imagine and are not humiliated? However, I got rid of these foolish thoughts and was right — the Azerbaijanis are just like I had imagined. Ilham Akbar,” Lapshin wrote.
