Azerbaijani Video Blogger In Serious Condition In France After Being Stabbed 16 Times

Mirzali, whose YouTube channel has 265,000 subscribers and covers opposition to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, corruption, and other issues, fled his homeland in 2016 due to his political activism in the authoritarian Caucasus state.

The attack was the latest incident targeting the blogger and his family, raising concerns it was carried out to silence a critical voice.
