ICRC staff visited Armenian separatists held in Baku

In April, staff of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) again visited people of Armenian origin, whose detention was reported by the Azerbaijani side, oxu.az reports. One-on-one meetings were held with the detainees, and conditions were created for them to communicate with their families.

It was emphasized that, during such visits, the ICRC, in accordance with its mandate, assesses the treatment and conditions of detention of detainees, and provides them with facilities to re-establish or maintain contact with their families. In accordance with ICRC procedures, observations and recommendations related to visits are transmitted and discussed only with the detaining party.

Let us recall that the law enforcement agencies of Azerbaijan detained and brought to Baku the former leaders of the Armenian separatists in Karabakh Arkady Ghukasyan, Bako Sahakyan, Arayik Harutyunyan, the former so-called “Minister of Foreign Affairs” David Babayan, as well as the “Chairman of Parliament” David Ishkhanyan, generals Leva Mnatsakanyan, David Manukyan and ex-“state minister” Ruben Vardanyan.
