“My friend Ruben Vardanyan, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Armenian philanthropist and political prisoner, has spent 486 days (to date) in detention in Azerbaijan. His trial is currently ongoing behind closed doors, in secrecy, with violations of procedural norms. It is not only about one person. Ruben’s case is a litmus test of global justice, freedom of the press and the power of collective action. It is time to act”.
