Baku – APA. The United States welcomed on Tuesday a decision by Azerbaijan to allow human rights activist Leyla Yunus and her husband, Arif Yunus, a historian, to leave the country for urgent medical purposes.
"The United States welcomes as another positive step Azerbaijan's decision," State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.
"We encourage the government to take additional steps and unconditionally release all individuals who have been incarcerated for exercising their fundamental freedoms," he added.
On April 19, the Supreme Court passed a decision to allow Leyla and Arif Yunus to leave the country for treatment.
