Baku/16.04.23/ Turan: On April 16, Armenian Ombudsman Anahit Manasyan visited two Azerbaijani servicemen who were detained on April 10 and 13 in Armenia.
She familiarized herself with the conditions of detention. According to the press service of the Armenian Ombudsman, the prisoners "did not complain about torture or ill-treatment."
According to the same source, “prisoners are provided with everything they need – food, water, personal hygiene items. They also receive medical assistance when needed.”
The Ombudsman was accompanied by a doctor and an interpreter.
Recall, on April 10, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan reported that two soldiers got lost on the border of Nakhchivan and Armenia.
Later, one of them came to the village of Bnunis in the Syunik region and turned to the villagers for help, and the second was detained near the town of Kafan three days later. At the same time, the Armenians severely beat him, filmed it on video and posted it on social networks. In addition, a second soldier was accused of killing a security guard at a local plant. The Armenian authorities called both detainees saboteurs. -0-
