German Deportation of Azerbaijani Refugee Sparks Outcry
Norana Azurova and her family are facing dire consequences after being deported from Germany to Azerbaijan, where her husband, Samir Ashurov, faces prison for political dissent against President Ilham Aliyev. Despite seeking asylum in Germany, their claims were rejected. After their deportation, Azurova received notification of a criminal case opened against her in Azerbaijan, raising fears for their safety. German politician Frank Schwabe criticized the deportation as a grave mistake, urging for the family’s safety and potential repatriation to Germany.
