Letters and petitions for application of an immediate measure with respect to persons captured and deemed to be missing as a result of the military operations unleashed by Azerbaijan on Nov. 16 will be sent to the European Court of Human Rights in the next few days. This is what human rights activist Siranush Sahakyan said during a conversation with Armenpress.
“We are already receiving reports from the families of missing persons and captives and are exploring the incidents. We will also take into consideration the processes unfolding within the scope of the interstate complaint so that we rule out repetition,” Sahakyan said.
According to her, the primary objective is to protect physical immunity and life of people. Although the European Court of Human Rights doesn’t apply an immediate measure in the form of release, Sahakyan recalled the processes unfolding in the United Nations International Court of Justice (Armenia has submitted a claim to the Court with the demand to apply urgent measures against Azerbaijan, and with this, Armenia, inter alia other demands, insists on the immediate return of Armenian prisoners of war and the closure of the war trophy park.
After Azerbaijan’s provocations made on Nov. 16, nearly 10 families of persons deemed to be missing and captives are in contact with human rights activists, who are currently working intensively. There are cases of capture and soldiers gone missing affirmed in the video.
Siranush Sahakyan and Artak Zeynalyan are dealing with this matter, and since there is an interstate complaint, Representative of the Republic of Armenia before the European Court of Human Rights Yeghishe Kirakosyan is also involved.
