Armenia applies to ECHR regarding kidnapping of three Artsakhians by  Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. On August 28, Armenia appealed to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on the  protection of the rights of three civilians abducted from the  Kashatagh (Lachin) corridor, with a request to apply an interim  measure against Azerbaijan. This was reported by the office of  Armenia's representative for international legal affairs.

"We will report further developments later," the office said.

On August 28, three young people from Artsakh were abducted by  Azerbaijanis at the checkpoint during the search. They are charged  with "desecration of the Azerbaijani flag." Baku announced the young  people will face a 10-day jail term. This is the second case of the  abduction of Artsakh citizens from the checkpoint. On July 29,  68-year-old Vagif Khachatryan, who was on his way to Armenia for a  heart operation, was abducted from the same checkpoint.
