Arbitrary court trials of Armenian POWs continuing in Azerbaijan

Arbitrary court trials of Armenian POWs continuing in Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. Arbitrary court trials of Armenian POWs are continuing in Azerbaijan. Two Armenian POWs, Ishkhan Sargsyan and Vladimir Rafaelyan, have been sentenced to  long-term imprisonment on trumped-up charges.  

On March 5, the Sabunchi court of Baku sentenced Ishkhan Sargsyan to  19 years in prison and Vladimir Rafaelyan to 18 years in prison on  charges of terrorism. The Prosecution claims they were members of an  intelligence group. 

In fact, the Armenian servicemen were captured by Azerbaijani troops  in Armenia's sovereign territory. Since May 12, 2021, Azerbaijani  troops have been occupying territories in Armenia's Gegharkunik and  Syunik, terrorizing the local population.
