Officials view a video at the office of Armenia's Human Rights Defender


YEREVAN—The office of Armenia’s Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman), Karen Andreasian, organized a private viewing of a video recording of the torture of Armenian serviceman Hakob Injighulyan in Azerbaijan.

 

Armenia’s Ministry of Defense confiscated the video record from Azerbaijani saboteurs and placed it at the Ombudsman’s disposal.

Representatives of a number of diplomatic missions and international organizations — including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations — attended the private viewing.

Armen Grigorian, Deputy Ombudsman on military issues, said he is deeply concerned over the inhumane treatment of Hakob Injighulyan and other Armenian POWs in Azerbaijan.
