ICRC visits Azerbaijanis held hostage by Armenia
Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have visited Azerbaijani hostages, who were detained during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, ICRC Baku Office's Public Relations Department head Ilaha Huseynova said.
ICRC representatives visited the Azerbaijani hostages once again in December. "During the visit, the conditions of detention and treatment of detainees were monitored," Huseynova said.

During an operation in July 2014 in Shaplar village of Azerbaijani Kalbajar district occupied by Armenia, the Armenian special forces killed an Azerbaijani, Hasan Hasanov, and took hostage two other Azerbaijanis, Shahbaz Guliyev and Dilgam Asgarov.

A "criminal case" was initiated against them. Afterwards, a "court" sentenced Asgarov to life imprisonment and Guliyev to 22 years in prison.
