Ocampo  about new social media campaign to release Armenian hostages   in Baku

ArmInfo. Luis Moreno Ocampo, the first prosecutor of the International Criminal Court,  has called for decisive action to protect the interests of refugees from Artsakh in light of the upcoming European Political Community  summit in Yerevan this May. 

"On 4 May 2026, more than 40 national leaders from Europe-including  non-EU countries such as the United Kingdom, Norway, and  Switzerland-will gather in Yerevan to participate in the 8th European  Political Community (EPC) Summit. The goal is "to coordinate  responses to shared strategic challenges." The following day will see  the first-ever Armenia-EU Summit, attended by the leadership of the  EU institutions, to deepen Armenia's integration with Europe.  Nagorno-Karabakh is absent from the meetings' agenda. Yet it will  inevitably be present. European leaders will confront the reality of  120,000 people who were forcibly removed from their ancestral land  and who now live in or around Yerevan. Their staff will prepare their  positions in the coming weeks. This is the time to engage them-to  explain the problem, to demand actions and to request concrete  assistance. 

To release the hostages and to find forms to protect Armenia and  respect Nagorno-Karabakh people, a new social media campaign is  coming: European Political Community Free Armenian Hostages EU  respect EU Charter. By reposting or commenting we can participate in  the protection of Nagorno-Karabakh people rights. We can participate  in ending the denial of the 2023 Armenian genocide. Protecting  Armenians is protecting civilization," Ocampo stated in a video  message on X.
