October 22, 2014 - 17:21 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The International Committee of the Red Cross is aware
of the upcoming trial of Azeri saboteurs detained by Karabakh armed
forces. As APA reported quoting the ICRC Baku Office spokesperson
Ilaha Huseynova, "The International Committee of the Red Cross
regularly visits those detained and helps them communicate with
their families. According to The Geneva Conventions the detainees
should be treated humanely. International humanitarian law doesn't
prevent defendants from standing trial. International humanitarian
law always requires the observance of legal safeguards regarding
the trial," she said. However, she said, the ICRC isn't a source of
information on judicial proceedings. The saboteurs will stand trial
on October 27, with Shahbaz Guliyev and Dilgam Askerov to face the
court in Stepanakert. The two Azeri commandos were caught making an
incursion into Armenian territory (Karvachar) in the summer. The third
commando, Hasan Hasanov, was killed, and his body was handed over
to Baku earlier in October. The actions of the commando group left
an underage resident of Karvachar and an Armenian serviceman killed,
as well as one woman wounded.
