Almost exactly one year ago, Gubad Ibadoghlu was supposed to take up a new position at TU Dresden. But it never happened. In July 2023, the native of Azerbaijan was arrested together with his wife on the street in Baku. His wife was released the same day and subsequently reported mistreatment and even torture. Ibadoghlu has still not been released and is accused of terrorism. He is said to belong to the Gülen movement. There is no real evidence of this.
