Families of captives held in Baku receive information on their health and conditions of detention

Information about 16 persons held captive by Azerbaijan as a result of the military aggression of September 19-20, including military and political leaders, servicemen, and civilians of Artsakh, was handed over to their families.

Hasmik Samvelyan, spokesperson for Armenia’s representative on International Legal Matters, told Radio Azatutyun that the families of the captives were provided with data on their health, conditions of detention, as well as their photographs.

The Armenian representative received these data through the mediation of the European Court of Human Rights. The International Court of Justice appealed to Azerbaijan at the request of Armenia, and Baku passed the information about the captives to the ECHR.

Data on whether 16 persons were tortured, whether their rights are protected, whether they have health problems has not been provided yet.

Samvelyan stated that the stage of objections has come. That is, if the Armenian side records human rights violations on the basis of the information received about the captives, it will submit objections to the international court.
