Red Cross visits former Artsakh officials in custody in Baku

In April, ICRC delegates once again visited Armenian political and military figures held captive in Azerbaijan. Head of the Public Relations Department of the ICRC Office in Azerbaijan Ilaha Huseynova said this.

As reported, private meetings were held with the officials; they were given the opportunity to contact their families.

As noted, under its mandate, the ICRC assesses the treatment that the detainees get and the conditions of their detention. The ICRC also creates conditions for individuals to restore or continue contact with their families.

Under ICRC procedures, observations and recommendations related to visits are communicated and discussed only with the detained party.
