Public Radio of Armenia. Azerbaijani servicemen tortured and killed 19 Armenian prisoners after the end of the 44-day war, lawyers Artak Zeynalyan and Siranush Sahakyan say.
“During the Second Artsakh War, which started on September 27, 2020, as well as after the signing of the tripartite statement on November 9, 2020, Armenian civilians and servicemen continued to be taken prisoner,” the lawyers said.
Nineteen of the captives were tortured and killed by Azerbaijani servicemen, which is considered a war crime.
The lawyers have appealed to the European Court of Human Rights regarding the facts of torture and killing of prisoners of war and other detainees.
