Geneva (ICRC) – On 19 August, the International Committee of the
Red Cross (ICRC) facilitated the transfer of an Armenian civilian
internee detained in Azerbaijan. The transfer took place in Agdam
district, Azerbaijan.
Before the internee was transferred, ICRC delegates had visited him
to assess his treatment and conditions of detention and to ensure
that he was returning of his own free will.
Acting as a neutral intermediary and in accordance with its mandate,
the ICRC facilitated the transfer with the full cooperation of
all sides.
