Lemkin Institute urges signing of petition to release Armenians held in Baku

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention expressed its deep concern about the continued illegal detention of political prisoners from Artsakh in Azerbaijan.

“We urge immediate action and call for Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to release all Armenians currently being held in Baku. Their detention is a gross violation of international law.

By signing this petition, you can take action to restore the rights of Artsakh Armenians being held by Baku, as well as Armenian POWs and civilian hostages in Azerbaijan, some of whom have been held illegally for years,” the Lemkin Institute said in a statement.
