Vigen Euljekchyan, imprisoned in Baku,  no longer able to endure his  sentence - lawyer

ArmInfo.  Vigen Euljekchyan, currently illegally held in an Azerbaijani prison, went  on a hunger strike 36 days ago. His family has no information about  his health.  Luciana Minasyan, his lawyer from Argentina, told  FactInfo that she is unable to verify  if Vigen has stopped his  hunger strike.

"Calls are made monthly and we already received calls in September.  So far, we have not been able to get information from Baku about  Vigen. We believe that he will continue the hunger strike, despite  the consequences. He is no longer able to bear the sentence,"  Minasyan said. She also reported that the Armenian National Committee  of Lebanon had asked Lebanon's Permanent Representative to the UN to  raise the issue of Vigen Euljekjian, who has been unjustly detained  in Baku since 2020. Additionally, Argentina's Vice President Victoria  Villarruel and Argentina's Human Rights Commissioner Claudia Rucci  were asked to raise the issue of prisoners in Azerbaijan, including  Vigen Euljekjian. "There was no response from either the Vice  President or Rucci, but we may receive a response from Human Rights  Watch within a week. However, we continue to work towards taking  legal action, and there is still much to be done in this area,"  Minasyan said.
