In February, the representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) visited again all the Armenian detainees notified by the Azerbaijani authorities, said Ilaha Huseynova, head of the Public Relations Department of the ICRC's Azerbaijan delegation, in response to an inquiry by APA.
The detainees were met in private and were given a possibility to exchange family news.
According to its mandate, during such visits, the ICRC assesses the treatment of detainees and conditions of detention and helps to ensure that the detained individuals can restore or maintain contact with their families. As per the ICRC’s procedures, the observations and recommendations related to its visits are only shared with the detaining authorities.
Recall that the law enforcement agencies of Azerbaijan have arrested the former "presidents" of the so-called entity in Garabakh, Arkadi Gukasyan, Bako Sahakyan, Araik Arutyunyan, the former "minister of foreign affairs" David Babayan, as well as the "parliament speaker" David Ishkhanyan, generals Lyova Mnatsakanyan, David Manukyan, and the former "state minister" Ruben Vardanyan, and brought them to Baku.
Currently, the criminal cases they are charged with are being heard in the Baku Military Court.
