In military hospitals of Azerbaijan, medical intervention was performed on Armenian prisoners of war without pain relief: Kristinne Grigoryan, the human rights defender of Armenia, said at a press conference speaking about the torture of Armenian prisoners in Azerbaijan. “We are talking about operations, sewing wounds, bandaging.
During these interventions, patients must be anesthetized in advance with medical protocols. The boys were also subjected to psychological pressure, at the moment they are undergoing physical and psychological rehabilitation. There are marks of torture on some bodies. A case was registered when a serviceman received a non-fatal wound, but later died. This is the case when Azerbaijani propaganda tried to show how they provide first aid to an Armenian soldier. Further forensic examination showed that the boy died of internal bleeding. This is a manifestation of torture in the form of not providing necessary medical care.
Such cases may still be registered,” explained the human rights defender, answering various questions of journalists on this topic. Responding to the question about the number of Armenian prisoners after the September 13 attack, Kristinne Grigoryan said that the Azerbaijani authorities claim that they had 17 Armenian prisoners, whom they returned, however, the Armenian side believes that most likely the others captured in September Armenian soldiers are also in Azerbaijan.
“We will continue to work because these people should be able to get legal help. Earlier, more than 20 people claimed to have seen their sons in the videos.” The human rights defender also added that more than 40 people claim that their relative is missing, but the number may change, as the process of identification of bodies transferred to Armenia is not completed. There are bodies that have been tortured and, in general, the bodies have not been preserved in such a way that they are easily identifiable. The work of identifying the bodies of 133 dead servicemen has not yet been completed, so she cannot tell the exact number of the dead.
