The Azerbaijani bar association has reinstated three lawyers who had previously lost their membership. Among them is Shakhla Gumbatova, whom the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken called to be reinstated in one of his recent Twitter posts.
On May 5, during a meeting of the presidium of the Azerbaijani Bar Association it has been decided to withdraw the lawsuit against Shahla Humbatova. Immediately after the meeting, Gumbatova was informed that she could resume her legal practice.
At the same meeting, lawyers Irada Javadova and Turkel Suleimanli have been reinstated.
